Obama Foundation

The Obama Foundation invests in the future by inspiring, empowering, and connecting social entrepreneurs who will lead change to create a better world. It understands that children will reach their full potential if given education, opportunities, and mentorship. Outstanding global civic innovators are supported, inspiring a wave of civic innovation. The Obama Presidential Center is an inspired and remarkable presidential library and museum; it is a focal point for social changemaking, generating social activism, leveraging powerful networks to amplify change, and inspiring a better future for all.

“President and Mrs. Obama have adhered to one simple principle their whole lives: that ordinary people coming together can change history. And the Obama foundation is the embodiment and the continuation of that vision. Our mission is simple and straightforward: to inspire, empower and connect people to change their world. We inspire them to action. We empower them with the tools and resources that they need to have greater impact and we connect them together because the reality is, you can only do great in big things together, you can’t do them alone. We’re so grateful to LSPFF; because of this partnership, we have been able to connect changemakers from Chicago with the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the course of the next few years, we will work together to build this network, and together will bring hope to action.”
