We are honored and delighted to share the exciting news of a transformative grant from Minneapolis Jewish Federation. The $25,000 grant, which is part of the Federation’s newly created “Funds for Local Needs,” will support our rapid growth into Minnesota classrooms, as well as help us advance on the animated “Milkweed” film. Thank you, Jim Cohen, and the Minneapolis Jewish Federation for this important and timely gift!

Janet M. Thompson, President

“The Board of the Rocking JT Foundation is proud to support your project to bring Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli to the screen as a classroom tool for teaching young people about the Holocaust. ”

Robin Parritz, Hornik Family Foundation

“We are thrilled to be able to support the Milkweed project.”

The Milkweed Film + Holocaust Education Project would not be possible without the generosity of our donors.
