The Henry T. Nicholas, III Foundation is committed to supporting victims' rights, especially focusing on victims of violent crime. Dr. Nicholas, motivated by his sister Marsy's murder in 1983, has played a pivotal role in the victims' rights movement. His efforts led to the passing of Marsy's Law in California, a comprehensive Victims' Bill of Rights, and he continues to push for a national movement to enshrine such rights in the U.S. Constitution. The Foundation provides extensive support to victims' rights organizations, utilizing legal, technical, and media resources to bolster their initiatives.
The Henry T. Nicholas, III Foundation strives to empower communities and individuals to achieve their highest potential, focusing on Education, Youth Sports, Technology, Science, Medical Research, Victim's Rights, and National Defense. Since its founding in 2006, it has contributed over $2.7 million to public charities and nonprofit organizations. The Foundation's grants support educational and athletic development for young people, advancements in science, technology, and medicine, and provide assistance to victims of violent crimes and national defense heroes. Its overarching principle is to invest in people's futures, ensuring health, productivity, and security.
