| Dear The, I have exciting news about the future of The Obama Foundation. And as someone who has always supported our mission, I want you to be among the first to hear it: We’re launching the Obama Foundation Membership Program, a new way to bring supporters like you closer to this work, and to the community of folks building change every day. Benefits include special updates, early access to purchase tickets to the Obama Presidential Center, a personalized membership card to recognize your role in this community, and more. By joining today with an ongoing monthly or annual donation, you’ll become a Founding Member—with exclusive benefits like special updates, early access to purchase tickets to The Center, and a personalized membership card. Your ongoing membership gift ensures we can continue to inspire, empower, and connect the next generation of changemakers month after month, year after year. I also want your input on the design of the Founding Member card. When the team showed me a few design options, I thought, why don’t we let our future members decide? So, we’re going to have a vote, and I want to hear from you, The: which of these designs do you like best? | | | | The timing couldn’t be better. With the Obama Presidential Center set to open in June, we’re entering a bold new chapter at The Obama Foundation—expanding our shared mission, and deepening our impact. The Center will be more than a building in Chicago—it will be a global hub for change: a place where ideas are tested, leaders are empowered, and communities everywhere can find inspiration. Whether you’re in Chicago or halfway around the world, this work is about building a network of changemakers ready to tackle the biggest challenges of our time—together—day in and day out. I’ll be announcing the winning card design soon—but I want to make sure we hear from you before we tally up the votes. Tell us what you think, and then I hope you’ll take the next step and join us as a Founding Member. Thank you for your commitment to change for all. I can’t wait to see which design you choose. —Barack | | | | |
