The Campaign for the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ & Its Future
In fiscal year 2021, the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ received over $21 million in new gifts and grants, bringing us within reach of our ambitious goal as we approach the final year of the Campaign for the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ & Its Future. This total was made possible by the contributions of over 1,200 members who continue to support the programs, events, and initiatives that animate the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s 241-year-old mission. In this watershed year, we acknowledge the following individuals and foundations whose especially generous support will have a lasting impact on our organization:
David M. Rubenstein
David Rubenstein’s gift of $10 million provides implementation and project support for the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s projects in democracy and inequality in America. It will also fund the construction of The Rubenstein Wing, a dedicated space to house and make the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s archival collections more accessible.
The Raymond Frankel Foundation
A $2 million grant from the Raymond Frankel Foundation will endow a nuclear security policy fellowship, intended to build the careers of promising young scholars and cement the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s historic legacy in global security.
An Anonymous Foundation
Recognizing the challenge and opportunity of the massive operational shift brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, a new grant of $2 million in endowment will support the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s technology infrastructure, allowing us to engage a greater number and diversity of people through our events and communications.
The William J. and Lia G. Poorvu Foundation
A grant of $1 million will establish the Poorvu Fund, providing current-use support for the early development and inclusive planning of new projects and initiatives at the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ.
Rockefeller Brothers Fund
As a leader in democracy-focused philanthropy, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund made a grant of $1 million to accelerate the implementation of Our Common Purpose, the final report of the Commission on the Practice of Democratic Citizenship.
“We are exceedingly grateful for the partnership of so many dedicated members and mission-oriented foundations who join us in supporting the goals of the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ and its Campaign.â€
