World War II Foundation
The World War II Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the personal stories of veterans and survivors from World War II through documentary films and educational initiatives. The foundation aims to honor the contributions of the World War II generation and educate future generations about the significance of this period in history.
Mission and Activities
The foundation produces educational documentary films, often narrated by prominent figures in entertainment and sports, which are filmed on location in Europe and the Pacific. These films explore individual personal stories from World War II, providing a unique perspective on historical events. The documentaries air globally, including on PBS and Public Television affiliates, where they rank among the most requested programs[2][3].
In addition to film production, the foundation engages in outreach programs, including visits to schools and universities worldwide. It also utilizes new technologies such as Virtual Reality to enhance the educational experience. The organization has donated numerous films to American Public Television and makes them available for free to educational institutions[4].
Initiatives and Awards
The foundation is involved in several notable initiatives, including the establishment of monuments recognizing American leadership during World War II. It has erected a monument in Normandy, France, and dedicated plaques honoring significant historical figures[3]. In 2019, the World War II Foundation established the Senator Bob Dole World War II Leadership Award to honor veterans who have dedicated their lives to public service and education related to World War II[2][3].
The foundation's work has been recognized with numerous awards, including six Regional Emmy Awards for documentary film writing and production. It has also received American Public Television’s National Programming Excellence Award[2][3].
Leadership and Governance
The foundation is led by its founder and president, Tim Gray, who has been recognized for his dedication to preserving World War II history. He has received honors such as induction into the Rhode Island Hall of Fame[3]. The organization's governance includes a diverse board of directors comprising professionals from various fields[5].
