Our Team
Joshua Laterman
Founder
At the urging of his children from their awareness of the growth of hate online, in September 2024, Joshua Laterman and his family foundation, the Laterman Family Foundation created the “Laterman Family Foundation AddressHate Initiative” with the philanthropic grant of $1 million dollars to fight antisemitism and hate on social media. The goal of AddressHate is to maximize technology to identify the sources of hate, root out the technological vehicles for their advancement and promulgation, and find technological solutions to thwart and end hate.
Mr. Laterman is a Director of the Laterman Family Foundation, which was founded by his parents, Frances Iger Laterman and the late Bernard Laterman to make multigenerational commitments to a wide array of religious, health, public education, and social justice, literary, and scientific charities and institutions.
A substantial portion of the Laterman Family Foundation’s annual gift-giving are for the welfare of the Jewish people, and the support of medical, educational, cultural, and philanthropic organizations affiliated with Jewish institutions.
Mr. Laterman is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Baruch College Fund (BCF), a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to promote the educational welfare of the students at Baruch College. He follows in his late father’s footsteps at BCF where he continues his family’s commitment to public education, Baruch College, its diverse student body, and strengthening Black and Jewish relations.
