The Harvey Milk Foundation was founded in 2009 by Harvey Milk's nephew, Stuart Milk, and Harvey's campaign manager and political aide, Anne Kronenberg, based on discussions held with the family and close Harvey Milk allies[1] after Stuart received the Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier that year.[2][3] The organization continues to be headed by Stuart Milk and Anne Kronenberg[4] and operates on a small, mostly private donor based, budget.[3]
The Foundation's activities focus around encouraging local, regional, national and global organizations to learn and utilize Harvey Milk's story, style, and coalition building technique; supporting LGBTQ youth; and promoting education that includes Harvey's story and the LGBT community's collective story.[1][3][5]
