to erase indifference
Rooted in the memory of the Holocaust and the testimony of Survivors, our mission is to actively oppose indifference – a central challenge of our time that creates space for discrimination, hatred, and conflict. By seeking out, supporting, and promoting innovative global solutions, we strive to build a world where empathy and engagement overcome passivity.
we inspire
Our mission is more relevant than ever. Through the Challenge, we search for bold and innovative ways to address indifference. We are pioneers in turning attention toward indifference as a global issue.

we remember
The opposite of love is not hate, it’s…
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s…
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s…
And the opposite of life is not death, it’s…
…indifference.
Elie Wiesel
Romanian-born American writer, professor, political activist, Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor

The Erase Indifference Challenge is an international initiative recognizing and supporting modern, imaginative, and impactful projects that translate values into action – contributing to the reduction of indifference towards discrimination, the growth of empathy, and the recognition and celebration of human diversity.
We decided to open the Challenge to technological and social projects that work towards erasing indifference towards discrimination, especially racism, antisemitism and religious discrimination, misogyny, as well as discrimination against migrants and refugees, and LGBTQIA+ people.
The Challenge supports initiatives that demonstrate real-world impact and effectiveness, drawing on approaches such as technology, community engagement, collaboration, gamification, pop culture, data and research, social experimentation, and education.
We direct our initiative to NGOs, startups, companies, public institutions and religious associations from all over the world. We are particularly interested in initiatives that already show clear results, proven activities, and measurable outcomes, with the potential to grow further.
Selected projects receive a financial award in recognition of their work and impact.
Information about the next open call will be announced soon
