Tikvah Fund

The Tikvah Fund (קרן תקווה) is an American conservative nonprofit charitable foundation whose stated mission is to promote Jewish thought and ideas.

Activities
In 2011 the Fund provided a four-year $12.5 million grant to the Shalem Center to form an American-style liberal arts university in Israel, now Shalem College. The fund had supported the Shalem Center for the previous decade as well.

The Tikvah Fund has funded several publications, including Commentary, Mosaic and its predecessor Jewish Ideas Daily, the Jewish Review of Books, and Mida

The Fund also organizes the Jewish Leadership Conference, a politically conservative Jewish conference. Invitees in 2022 included Mike Pompeo, who served as Secretary of State under Donald Trump, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, and Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis. Picketers attended to oppose DeSantis' speech.

It runs a fellowship programme named after Charles Krauthammer which is awarded to aspiring writers, journalists, scholars, and policy analysts'
