The Foundation's principal goal is to support initiatives designed to promote tolerance and human rights, particularly among the young. Its work is focused on developing young children's understanding of and respect for the differences that exist among themselves, especially those related to culture, ethnicity, gender, race, and socioeconomic status.

The Foundation's program builds on research findings demonstrating that gaining self-control and the ability to relate positively to others is developed in early childhood. In the field of human rights the support is mostly through fellowships in order to bring new leaders into the field.
