About The RBG Endowment Fund:

Following Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, items from her personal estate were donated to SOS Children’s Villages and will now be auctioned to establish The RBG Endowment Fund. This auction will be the final public offering from her personal estate, presenting a rare opportunity to own historic items and signature fashion pieces. Donors are also welcome to contribute independently to The RBG Endowment Fund. 

Each year, 5.5% of The RBG Endowment Fund will be directed to one or more specific programs in the SOS Children’s Villages portfolio. Non-political and non-sectarian, SOS Children’s Villages’ holistic programs are designed to ensure sustained impact and focus on strengthening all aspects of life for children and their families, as well as supporting the communities in which they live.  

We hope Justice Ginsburg’s inspiring example will encourage her admirers to continue her legacy of caring for those in need—in our case, millions of vulnerable children and families around the globe.
