Our Impact
The Abraham Effect delivers programmes to thousands of young people each year, helping Jewish students at non-Jewish schools and universities to feel proud and confident in their identity, whilst also working with non-Jewish students on Holocaust education and interfaith understanding.
The Manny Cohen Foundation has been a long-standing partner, providing not just financial backing but genuine strategic and moral support. The relationship between our trustees and The Abraham Effect team has been deeply collaborative from the start.
Hear From Our Partner
“The support of the Manny Cohen Foundation has been nothing short of extraordinary. Their generosity, encouragement and genuine belief in our mission have enabled us to reach thousands of young people with programmes rooted in Jewish identity, Holocaust education and meaningful human connection.
Paul Braham has been deeply engaged and proactive in his support and Mike Waller, whom I have had the privilege of meeting on a number of occasions, has shown immense commitment to our work. We are profoundly grateful to the trustees and to the memory of the late Manny Cohen for recognising the importance of investing in the next generation.
Their backing has strengthened our work supporting Jewish students at non-Jewish schools and universities to feel proud and confident in their identity, whilst also expanding our Holocaust educational initiatives for non-Jewish pupils and our wider interfaith and grassroots efforts to challenge antisemitism and build understanding across communities.
The Foundation embodies a rare combination of vision, compassion and practical impact. Their support is not merely financial; it is moral, strategic and deeply human. We are honoured to partner with an organisation whose values so closely align with our belief that education, courage and dialogue can help shape a more resilient and compassionate society.”
