Rosenberg Fund for Children

The Rosenberg Fund for Children, founded in 1990 by Robert Meeropol and named in honor of his parents Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, the only two United States civilians to be executed for conspiracy to commit espionage during the Cold War. The non-profit fund was established "to provide for the educational and emotional needs of children whose parents have suffered because of their progressive activities and who, therefore, are no longer able to provide fully for their children." The mission has since been expanded to provide grants for "the educational and emotional needs of targeted activist youth".
