I am honored to begin my tenure as chair of the Kennedy Center’s

Corporate Fund Board and proud to lead this national campaign that

engages corporate leadership beyond the boardroom by investing in

local communities, educating young minds and developing a creative

economy. The Kennedy Center Corporate Fund provides a platform to

broaden your company’s investment responsibly in the communities your

employees, clients and customers live in by providing accessible artistic

and educational programming. This support allows the Kennedy Center to

serve as a leader in the performing arts, engaging artists and audiences in

the United States and around the world.

The Corporate Fund provides vital support to the Kennedy Center’s

mission-driven artistic and education initiatives as the one financial

instrument for raising and distributing unrestricted corporate gifts. With an

annual fundraising goal of more than $4 million, this much-needed support

allows the Kennedy Center to meet the creative needs of our country

and develop an innovative and inspired workforce—all while providing an

unparalleled benefit structure to corporate investors.

For many years, Boeing has made a strategic investment in the Kennedy

Center as part of our philanthropic commitment to the arts. I encourage

you to read through this brochure to learn more about the Kennedy Center

Corporate Fund, and consider the difference you could create for your

company and communities around the world.

As the Kennedy Center approaches its 50th anniversary in 2021, each

year promises to be filled with innovative, high-caliber performances and

initiatives. I look forward to welcoming you to the Corporate Fund.

Since 1977

The Kennedy Center opened to the public on

September 8, 1971, but its roots date back to

1958, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed

bipartisan legislation that created a National Cultural

Center and required that it be an independent, self-

sustaining, and privately funded facility. As a lifelong

supporter and advocate of the arts, President John F.

Kennedy placed the prestige of his office firmly behind

the endeavor. Two months after his death in November

1963, Congress designated the National Cultural

Center as a “living memorial” to Kennedy. Today, the

John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is

recognized as one of the world’s most well respected

and unique arts organizations.

In 1977, the Kennedy Center Corporate Fund

was formed through the collective efforts of 37

concerned corporate executives from across our

nation. These American business leaders recognized

the need to generate a continuing source of funding

from the private sector in support of the Center’s

national arts education programs and the growth of

the performing arts across America. As a tangible

expression of their commitment, they spearheaded

the first Corporate Fund campaign with a goal of $1

million, and succeeded.

Over the ensuing 41 years, contributions to the

Corporate Fund have totaled over $109 million

providing support for the operations of the Kennedy

Center both at its facility in Washington, D.C. and in

communities around the country. These contributions

account for approximately 5% of annual contributed

income for the Kennedy Center, and support the

Kennedy Center’s unparalleled artistic, educational,

and community engagement programs.
