The Tikvah Fund has funded several publications, including Commentary, Mosaic and its predecessor Jewish Ideas Daily, the Jewish Review of Books,[4] and Mida.[7]
The Fund also organizes the Jewish Leadership Conference, a politically conservative Jewish conference.[8] Invitees in 2022 included Mike Pompeo, who served as Secretary of State under Donald Trump, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, and Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis.[1] Picketers attended to oppose DeSantis' speech.[9]
It runs a fellowship programme named after Charles Krauthammer which is awarded to aspiring writers, journalists, scholars, and policy analysts'.[10]
