The Amy Adina Schulman Memorial is an endowment fund started in 1987 to commemorate the brief but vibrant life of a twenty year old college student, a neuropsychology major, and an activist for ten years in the progressive Labor Zionist Youth Movement, Habonim-Dror. Adina died suddenly from a burst aneurysm while in her junior year at Rutgers University.
The Princeton community in which she was nurtured, Habonim-Dror which shaped her commitment to social justice, and her Rutgers community - all searched for a way to continue her presence, her ideals.
This Fund is a realization of her family and her friends' desire to celebrate her life, to fulfill her dreams and her potential.
Since Amy Adina's death the Fund has distributed
$290,000 to 413 grantees.... The size of grants and the number of awards has grown each year thanks to annual contributions and to gifts sent to the fund to honor special occasions and life cycle events. The Fund also sponsors a lecture each year on a relevant and timely topic related to the Fund's educational mission. The Fund is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt corporation.
