Giving Tuesday responds to the needs of our global community. For 38 years, the Lois Roth Foundation has focused on our human need for culture, by supporting cross-cultural dialogue across national, linguistic, and cultural boundaries. We help exchange students expand their projects in the humanities, arts and social sciences; we honor both citizen and professional cultural diplomats; and we help amplify literary voices from around the globe.

Please give today and help us to continue fostering cross-cultural dialogue. https://loisrothfoundation.org/give/
