Dear Friend,
As I take time to reflect on the opportunities we seized in 2023, I am filled with immense gratitude. Our impact continues to strengthen as we extend our reach across our nation and our globe. The Eisenhower Foundation is a national movement promoting not only Dwight D. Eisenhower’s life and legacy, but also his home state by showing the world the type of hardworking and intelligent leaders who hail from our Midwest state.
This past year was special. It encouraged us to dream bigger and keep executing our mission just as Ike would have wanted us to.

That’s the record-breaking number of students and teachers we served via our flagship IKEducation K-12 program. What a joy it is to share that with you, given the global challenges of the last few years.
In addition, Ike’s Soldiers continues to add more profiles of our fearless World War II veterans, making their stories available for years to come.
Future generations will thank us for completing Ike’s Boyhood Home renovations The Home had been closed for tours while undergoing a months-long preservation project, which included a comprehensive exterior preservation in addition to several maintenance and aesthetic updates to the home’s interior
