We’re one of America’s favorite charities

The — The Chronicle of Philanthropy just named The Obama Foundation one of America’s Favorite Charities!

Since President Obama started the Foundation, thousands of people who believe in our mission of empowering and connecting people to change their world have stepped up and donated to make our work possible — from building the Obama Presidential Center to supporting changemakers worldwide.

If you’re curious about the impact our work is having, we recently released our 2024 Annual Report to share more. Meet some of the leaders who have participated in our global programming, check out the progress we’ve made on the Obama Presidential Center, and hear directly from President Obama.

• 335 changemakers completed our leadership programs and joined a robust network of alumni driving change around the world.
• As the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance celebrated 10 years of impact, our four model communities saw real outcomes: a decrease in violent crime in Newark, an investment in early literacy in Yonkers, federal funding for violence prevention in Omaha, and a workforce strategy that intentionally includes young men of color in Tulsa.
• We broke ground on Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center, a state-of-the-art athletic and programs center.
• We invited community members to roundtables and tours of the Obama Presidential Center to reinforce our belief that the Center belongs to everyone.
