The,

Wow.

I am thrilled by how many of you got involved and voted on your favorite Founding Member Card design. Now let’s get to the fun part. The winner is:

I’m so excited about the work that our Founding Members will do alongside me, Michelle, and the rest of The Obama Foundation team to make a difference—in your city, in Chicago, and across the world. So today I’m asking you:

Join us as a Founding Member with your ongoing membership donation. By saying “yes” today, you’ll be a part of this movement, and help shape The Obama Foundation’s life-changing programs.

As a token of my gratitude, I am going to write a letter to our first 2,000 Founding Members, personally thanking you for coming off the sidelines and into this movement.

And there’s a little extra: I’ll also be sharing a “members only” playlist that I’m putting together to celebrate this special launch, and provide an early glimpse into the stories that will soon come to life at the Obama Presidential Center.

At The Obama Foundation, every program we run and every life we touch starts with someone like you who is willing to put in the work to make a difference in your community and to lift up the future leaders who are ready to build a better world.

Founding Members will help build something that will continue to touch lives for generations to come. When you join as a Founding Member today, you’re not just supporting our shared mission—you’re shaping a movement and becoming part of its legacy.

As a Founding Member, you’ll expand The Obama Foundation’s work to give more opportunities to students, mentorship to young leaders, and build a lasting legacy of leadership, one person and one community at a time.

The, become one of the first 2,000 Founding Members and begin your ongoing impact today. I’d love to write you a personal note, saying thanks for all that you do.

I hope you will join us in carrying the legacy on for future generations,

Sincerely,

— Barack
