Named as the initial recipients of "significant donations" from his Righteous Persons Foundation are: the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles for its Jews in Crisis program; American Friends of the Hebrew University for scholarships in memory of the nine Israelis and Americans killed in the July 31 bombing on the Mount Scopus campus; Selah-Israel Crisis Management Center; Natal-Israel Trauma Center for Victims of Terror and War; and Eran, which operates a multi-lingual 24-hour help line. Spielberg established the foundation in 1994 and has financed it through his entire profits from Schindler's List.
