ROBERT F. KENNEDY LEGACY CIRCLE
JOIN OUR INNER CIRCLE and INCREASE YOUR IMPACT.
The RFK LEGACY CIRCLE is the exclusive benefactor program of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation in Switzerland and is aimed at companies and individuals who wish to actively support the ongoing development and nationwide supply of the SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER human rights education program through a MINIMUM ANNUAL contribution of 5’000 Swiss Francs.
The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation is a politically, religiously, and financially independent foundation under Swiss law, which is financed exclusively by donations from Switzerland and operates exclusively in Switzerland - in close cooperation with the international NGO Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights (New York, USA). In the spirit of Robert F. Kennedy's legacy and Switzerland's rich humanitarian and democratic tradition, the Foundation pursues the vision of a society in which every person knows and respects human rights and protects them in daily life through responsible action. This is realised, for example, through the multi-faceted educational program Speak Truth To Power, which the Foundation makes available free of charge to all school children in Switzerland. Speak Truth To Power consists of a textbook, an online educational platform, a play and a didactically designed photo exhibition. In addition, the foundation regularly develops new learning activities related to current events and topics with established partners such as the universities of teacher education and the Competence Center for Human Rights at the University of Zurich and experts, for example from the field of art.
The Robert F. Kennedy Legacy Circle’s members are not only instrumental in the success of the Foundation's educational program and work through their annual giving, but also have the opportunity to work more closely with the Foundation and participate in national and international events hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights and the Kennedy Family.
