Front Line Fund
The Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice was founded in 2008 to carry on the work of the late Congressman Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor ever elected to the U.S. Congress and a prominent advocate for human rights worldwide. We have established the Lantos Foundation Front Line Fund Grant Program to award small grants to assist brave individuals and organizations in their fight against injustices around the world.
