$80,000 Matching Gift Opportunity

"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or timid." 

President Dwight D. Eisenhower 
First Inaugural Address—  Washington, DC, January 20, 1953
 

Next year, the Eisenhower Foundation will proudly celebrate its 80th anniversary. Founded on June 22, 1945, just weeks after Victory in Europe (VE) Day, the Eisenhower Foundation has spent nearly eight decades championing and sharing the legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower. 

In honor of this milestone, a group of longtime Eisenhower Foundation supporters have issued a matching gift challenge. 

A Special Opportunity for our Donors: $80,000 Matching Gift

In honor of our 80th anniversary, a grassroots group of Kansans have generously pledged to match every dollar raised up to $80,000. Your donation will go twice as far to help us bring thousands of students to the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, and reach even more schools virtually through IKE Online. 

Will you help us reach this goal? Will you make one last tax-deductible donation to theEisenhower Foundation, before December 31, 2024? Every dollar you give will be matched 100%, doubling your impact!

Your support allows us to continue teaching future generations about my grandfather’s life, values, and the enduring importance of freedom and peace. In a world filled with uncertainty, one thing remains steadfast: the generosity of Friends like you who believe in our mission. As we look to 2025, your support is more critical than ever. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. 

Together, we are preserving the legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower and The Greatest Generation. Thank you for your trust in our work and your continued support!
