Nina Rosenwald is an American political activist and philanthropist. An heiress to the Sears Roebuck fortune, Rosenwald is vice president of the William Rosenwald Family Fund and co-chair of the board of American Securities Management.[1][2] She is the founder and president of Gatestone Institute,[3] a New York-based right-wing anti-Muslim think tank.[4][5][6][7]
