Helping Those In Need
Since its inception in 2019, the generosity of James W. Foley Legacy Foundation supporters has helped us:
Develop our James W. Foley Journalism Safety Modules in collaboration with Marquette University’s Diederich College of Communication, a preventive safety curriculum for aspiring and freelance journalists now used in at least 15 universities across the US
Continue our annual research, “Bringing Americans Home,” to support Americans held abroad and their families and identify their most urgent needs
Create the first ever database of Americans currently held hostage and wrongfully detained abroad
Seek accountability for the hostage-taking and murder of Americans James Foley, Peter Kassig, Steven Sotloff and Kayla Mueller by bringing ISIS culprits to the U.S. for trial
Strengthen U.S. hostage policy by working with the U.S. Congress, culminating in the adoption of the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act, signed into law in the final days of 2020
Continue to support Hostile Environment and First Aid Training (HEFAT) for freelance journalists who need it, despite new challenges brought on by the pandemic
