As the Eisenhower Foundation approaches its 80th anniversary on June 22, 2025, we have set an ambitious goal: to raise $1,000,000 in support of our mission to preserve President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s legacy and expand educational opportunities for future generations.

This effort is about more than just meeting a milestone—it’s about building a future. Funds raised will support the construction of a new 14,000-square-foot Education Center, creating a dynamic space where learners of all ages can engage with Ike’s leadership, values, and enduring impact.
