The Phil Zwickler Charitable and Memorial Foundation Trust was established in 1993 
									and is dedicated to advancing those issues and causes, and to empowering those 
									people and groups, to whom Phil Zwickler was devoted throughout his lifetime. 
									He was especially devoted to supporting efforts to combat AIDS; to 
									protect the environment; and to defend and support the homeless and other 
									oppressed groups. 
									
									The Foundation seeks to promote human rights, education, health and the arts, 
									specifically with respect to the LGBTQ+ community, and generally with 
									regard to those individuals and groups who need assistance to survive and be 
									heard. 
									
									The foundation is focused on providing financial support to non profit 
									organizations, academic institutions, and students within such institutions. We 
									are especially seeking to create collaborations between our grantees, and would 
									look favorably toward funding to those who make such an effort. In addition 
									we can offer a hands on approach to building such partnerships if the need arises.
