Since 1992, the Foundation for Moral Courage has been dedicated to educating high school students and the general public about the importance of individual acts of moral courage in modern civic life.

We accomplish this mission by :

· Producing educational television documentaries, which illustrate such acts.

Through 2004 the Foundation has produced 12 educational television programs about ordinary individuals who became extraordinary through their acts of great personal courage.

· Encouraging other institutions to do the same

We work in partnership with various organizations including public and private school systems, colleges and universities throughout the United States. In 2001, the Foundation established a film student-mentoring program at the School of Fine Art in Boston College that encourages filmstudents to become involved in the production of films concerned with acts of moral courage.

· Convening annual award events

Since 2000, the Foundation has sponsored an annual Jan Karski Award Event for Moral Courage, which honors individuals whose acts of moral courage embody a shared commitment to universal human values.

An international juried documentary film competition which bestows the Jan Karski documentary Film Award on the winning producer/director.
