CEJI

What CEJI does

CEJI, formally "A Jewish Contribution to an Inclusive Europe," is a Brussels-headquartered non-profit (Belgian ASBL/VZW) founded in 1991 to combat antisemitism, racism, xenophobia, and hate crime across European jurisdictions. It serves Jewish communities, EU institutions, national and local governments, educators, law-enforcement and equality-body practitioners, and civil-society organizations. The organization delivers its mission through education, training, advocacy, and applied research rather than commercial products.

CEJI's programmatic portfolio centers on several named initiatives: Facing Facts, an online and in-person capacity-building platform on hate crime and hate speech; NOA, a hate crime victim-reporting and report-card program now operating in seven EU member states; Belieforama, an interfaith and intercultural dialogue toolkit; SafeNet, a 21-partner consortium supporting refugees and migrants facing discrimination; and DaRe Together, WE CAN, and Gishur, diversity-education curricula. The technical backbone is the Facing Facts Online e-learning platform delivering structured training modules, supplemented by MailChimp-distributed newsletters and active social channels for outreach and convening.

CEJI's business model is grant-driven rather than revenue-generating. Funding sources comprise EU institutional grants (including CERV/rights-equality streams), philanthropic foundation support with Open Society Foundations explicitly named, and individual donations. Go-to-market is achieved through consortium partnerships, public-sector engagement, and convening functions such as the Facing Facts 2025 conference. A notable 2024 repositioning was CEJI's resignation from the European Network Against Racism (ENAR) coalition, signaling a governance or strategic-fit concern. The 2026 MOU with the Alliance for European Patrimonial Judaism (AEPJ) extends the mandate into interfaith and heritage domains.

Direct peers

• European Jewish Congress (EJC): Umbrella organization of European Jewish communities representing their interests to EU institutions. EJC shares CEJI's dual positioning between Jewish community engagement and EU-level anti-discrimination policy.
• Anne Frank House: Amsterdam-based museum and educational organization using Anne Frank's history to combat antisemitism and discrimination. Its educational programmes on prejudice and identity directly overlap with CEJI's diversity-education offerings and Holocaust remembrance mandate.
• European Network for Countering Antisemitism through Education (ENCATE): European network of educators and organizations combating antisemitism through educational approaches. CEJI is an active partner in ENCATE's intersectionality and Dare Together working groups, making it a tightly comparable peer in mission and methodology.
• European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ): European network promoting Jewish cultural heritage through EU-funded programmes. CEJI and AEPJ signed a new Memorandum of Understanding at the NOA Final Conference, evidencing their overlapping role as Jewish-heritage and inclusion intermediaries within EU policy.
• Facing History and Ourselves: International educational organization that uses history to challenge antisemitism, prejudice and indifference through classroom resources and teacher training. It is directly comparable to CEJI's educational approach to antisemitism and bias prevention.
• European Network Against Racism (ENAR): Pan-European anti-racism coalition headquartered in Brussels that coordinates civil society organizations on racism and discrimination. It is the closest direct peer to CEJI's anti-discrimination mission; notably, CEJI resigned from ENAR in March 2024, evidencing prior close membership.
• World Jewish Congress (WJC): International organization representing Jewish communities and communities' interests globally. WJC is a core NOA Project partner alongside CEJI, sharing comparable workstreams on antisemitism policy benchmarking and Jewish community engagement.

Broad incumbents

• Anti-Defamation League (ADL): Established US-based Jewish-founded organization combating antisemitism, hate and extremism through training, education and policy advocacy. ADL operates a much larger portfolio and budget than CEJI but pursues a directly comparable mission of antisemitism and hate crime training.
• OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR): Intergovernmental body that works on tolerance, hate crime monitoring, and combating antisemitism across the OSCE region. ODIHR's hate crime reporting and TANDIS programmes overlap directly with CEJI's Facing Facts and NOA mandates at greater scale.
• International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA): Intergovernmental organization of 35 member states dedicated to Holocaust remembrance, education and research. IHRA's working definitions and recommendations directly shape the policy environment in which CEJI's NOA Report Cards and Holocaust education work operate.
