In honor of the 70th anniversary of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s first term as President of the United States, the Eisenhower Foundation received a matching gift opportunity. If we could raise $50,000 by March 31st, the funds would be matched dollar-for-dollar by an estate gift given through the Community Foundation of Dickinson County (Abilene, KS) and an anonymous Kansas donor.

Thanks to supporters from across the country, we surpassed this goal, raising over $100,000! These meaningful contributions reflect the deep commitment our donors have to Ike’s legacy.

Ike’s Hometown Hosts: This special program provides transportation assistance to visiting researchers at the Eisenhower Presidential Library. Volunteers are needed to drive researchers to and from the Library in the event of inclement weather and to regional airports, as needed. A nominal stipend will be given for time and fuel.
