Annual Report Annual Report 2020 2020 ANNUAL REPORT 1 FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR At the 1957 North Atlantic Treaty Organization Meeting of Heads of Government, President Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “Accomplishment will prove to be a journey not a destination.” As I reflect on the journey of 2020, I am truly humbled by our many accomplishments, all of which were made entirely possible by your unwavering commitment to the Eisenhower Foundation’s mission. 2020 was a year that was anything but normal, and while many nonprofits struggled, your gifts helped us not only meet our budget needs, but continue to create meaningful impact. Like everyone, the way in which we implemented our organization’s mission completely changed in March of 2020. We were forced to cancel all of our public programs and school field trips and completely pivot to virtual education. We were forced to cancel all of our face-to-face meetings with donors and pivot to communicating exclusively through mail, email and telephone conversations. In spite of this, we accomplished great things in the year 2020. It is my sincere hope that by reading this annual report you will be inspired by the work that we have diligently accomplished together. These are stunning examples of what we can do because of the continued loyalty and trust of our donors. Sincerely, Meredith Sleichter 2 EISENHOWER FOUNDATION Eisenhower Foundation Celebrates 75th Anniversary Established in June 1945, the Eisenhower Foundation has been committed to ensuring the legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower — a symbol of the heroes who won World War II — is remembered and honored for generations to come. As we observed this historic 75th anniversary and reflected on our rich history, the Board of Directors and Trustees issued a challenge. If our donors would contribute $37,500, they would match it dollar-for-dollar, totaling $75,000, in honor of the Eisenhower Foundation’s 75th anniversary. Thanks to your overwhelming response, donations from 32 states totaled $62,000 and it was matched with $40,000 for a total of $102,000! 2020 ANNUAL REPORT 3 Adapating IKEducation and Public Programs to the “New Normal” The spring 2020 calendar was filled with a During the 2020 calendar year, we served 8,090 record number of IKEducation field trips students students, teachers and the general and public programs when COVID-19 hit the public through virtual education.
