NEW NAME ANNOUNCED - FDR MEMORIAL FOUNDATION

We are proud to announce our new name: FDR Memorial Foundation.

We remain an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization with the mission to protect, preserve and promote the FDR Memorial in Washington, D.C. Our Board of Directors selected “Foundation” to reflect permanence, leadership and our long-term commitment to supporting the Memorial for generations to come. 

Why the change? 

To more strongly reflect our organization’s commitment to the entire Memorial – not just its illustrious past, but the present, its future and our dedication to consistent, ongoing efforts to support and collaborate with the National Park Service’s stewardship of the Memorial. 

Has anything changed at the organization?

Not really. We remain a “public charity,” not a grant-making foundation. We will continue to rely exclusively on donations to support our work. And as we’ll discuss in this newsletter, our name change coincides with our embrace of the Memorial’s broader challenges and opportunities. 

Stay tuned as we explore options for a new logo. While we will be retiring the “legacy” terminology, we remain committed to honoring our past as we focus on the Memorial’s present and future needs.
