We need your help to ensure this house is maintained in good repair for the next generation of #foreignaffairs professionals - especially those who’ve been historically excluded from service – and whom we are helping to identify, raise and support through our robust mentoring, scholarship, and educational programs.
Whether you are a member of the Foreign Affairs Community, an inter-agency partner, or a patriot who cares about preserving and restoring an important architectural treasure in the #PresidentsNeighborhood, this is your home away from home and it needs your help.
Please take advantage of the 2 to 1 special matching grant offered by our board for every gift made on-line or check postmarked before the end of the year they will match up to $240,000 dollars!

A CRT allows you to convert highly appreciated assets like stocks or real estate into lifetime income.

🛎️ Gather round. It’s time for some #Charitableadvice!
I am sure I am not the only one who gets asked to donate at the checkout while shopping. What do you think about it?
Getting money to charities is important, and many of us don’t think about giving to charity unless we are prompted to do so. From this perspective, I think giving at checkout can be useful.
But here’s the thing: the charities at the checkout are chosen for you, not by you.
Giving becomes more meaningful and infectious when we choose to give to something we love. We’re also more likely to make this kind of giving a part of our lifestyle. Like any sport or hobby, choosing to focus on what interests us most is partly what brings us back to things time and time again.
