     The Halle Foundation is an independent, public grant-making charity established in 1986 by Claus M. Halle, a German native who lived in the U.S. for about one-half of his adult life. The foundation seeks to promote understanding, knowledge and friendship between the people of Germany, as seen in its European context, and those of the United States. To this end, the Foundation supports initiatives in the fields of culture, science, technology, commerce, language, scholarship, and international relations. Claus Halle “observed and concluded that greater knowledge and better understanding will lead to increased friendship between the two peoples and improved relations between the two nations, thereby helping the cause of world peace.” Determined to work at increasing such knowledge and understanding, Claus Halle established The Halle Foundation.
