Thank you for Your Generosity!

 Every Gift Counts

Please Support our Important Work

Your generous contribution supports our work: building brave and welcoming communities by promoting universal respect for human rights through education, outreach and cultural experiences. This ambitious goal takes many forms. We offer sixteen educational programs to Maine students, sponsor talks and performances, curate exhibits, house valuable archives, showcase multi-media stories from survivors, and invite all visitors into the beautiful Michael Klahr Center.

Why is it a good idea to donate to this small non-profit with a large vision? Everything we offer is free of charge because everyone deserves equal access to experiences, knowledge, and belonging. Contributions fuel our daily work, and every gift counts—in our hearts and our budget. We give you our collective word that your hard-earned money will be put directly into building equitable and safe communities and strengthening human rights through advocacy, education and the arts. We simply cannot do this important work without you.

A few initiatives in the coming year which will need donations:

Youth Leadership

We will bring together high school students eager to address the rise in antisemitism and bigotry in Maine schools. We hope it will create a working group of ambitious students ready to return to their schools and communities with fresh insight and strategies to build more peaceful, productive communities. This will require staff time and funds; we hope you can join us in this promising endeavor.

Were The House Still Standing

To preserve the oral testimonies of Holocaust survivors and liberators living in Maine, In 2005 the HHRC commissioned Sculptor Robert Katz to create an 80-minute multimedia installation, a centerpiece of the Michael Klahr Center, entitled Were the House Still Standing. For 18 years visitors have been moved by the stories of personal trauma, tragedy, bravery and resilience told by the survivors, many founders of the HHRC. Now it needs a significant upgrade. We need donations and grants to fulfill this goal. Can you help us?

Planning for the Future

Healthy non-profits build endowment funds to ensure fiscal viability. Endowments offer security in times of need and investment to grow assets. Having just completed our five-year strategic plan, we need an endowment fund and a planned giving program to bring these goals to fruition. We hope you can participate in these long-term goals.

Thank you for your support and trust. We will use your gift wisely and well.
