Rosenberg Fund for Children

Rosenberg Fund for Children

The Rosenberg Fund for Children is a non-profit fund founded in 1990 by Robert Meeropol and named in honor of his parents Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, the only two United States civilians to be executed for conspiracy to commit espionage during the Cold War. Orphaned at age 6, Meeropol was adopted by Anne and Abel Meeropol. The later revelation of classified documents from U.S.S.R. and U.S. archive confirm that Julius Rosenberg was indeed a spy while the extent of involvement of Ethel Rosenberg in espionage is still disputed. As of 2007, the organization has given over $2.5 million in grants to more than 400 children since 1990.
