Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities

What Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities does

The Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities (AIPG) is a New York-headquartered nonprofit, founded in 2007 and incorporated in 2006, that delivers training and policy programming on the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities. The institute operates with 36 employees and a distributed footprint of regional offices in Oświęcim (Poland), Kampala (Uganda), Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Bucharest (Romania), collectively reaching 111 countries and more than 12,000 trained professionals across military, civilian government, judicial, and civil-society audiences.

Core programming is structured around one flagship product (the Global Raphael Lemkin Seminar), four regional programs (Africa, Latin America, Mediterranean Basin, US, Polish Affairs), and a portfolio of thematic programs including the Warsaw-Eastern Partnership Program (WEPP), REPAIR, the Bruno and Suzanne Scheidt Refugee Protection Program, and a Research and Online Education track. An Ambassadors Program formalizes alumni engagement and converts former participants into institutional advocates.

AIPG's business model is institutional grant funding. Revenue is sourced from a small set of government and philanthropic donors, including the German Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, the Blavatnik Family Foundation, the Swedish Postcode Foundation, EPIM, the German Federal Ministry of Finance, and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. The institute monetizes through multi-year program grants, training contracts with foreign ministries and security forces, and partnerships with academic institutions such as the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation and the UN Office on Genocide Prevention.
