Endowing a Legacy for the Future
Claude Pepper talks with National Easter Seal ChildThanks to the generosity of numerous donors, the Pepper Foundation has been able to carry on as a living legacy to the extraordinary man who gave it life and vitality. If Claude Pepper's aspirations were allowed to die with him, his life's purposes would be nullified. The Foundation he created has one overriding mission: to see that this never happens.
Toward this important objective, the Foundation is embarking on an ambitious venture to realize a dream that will ensure that the spirit of this great man and his important work endure. The creation of the Claude Pepper Center commemorates and builds upon the accomplishments of Pepper's five decades of public service, and provides a fitting permanent home for the Claude Pepper Library, the Claude Pepper Museum, and the Pepper Institute on Aging and Public Policy. The ultimate success of the Pepper Center will depend upon the generous help of private benefactors like you.
The income from an endowment provided to build upon the legacy of Claude Pepper will be used to fund Pepper Center and Pepper Foundation projects, including educational programs and exhibitions of the Pepper Library and the Pepper Museum. Our success is dependent upon private support. The Foundation offers to certain donors the honor of naming a wing, a room, a program or a collection in the Pepper Center facility.
All gifts to the Foundation are of major significance, but gifts to our endowment - the deep reserves through which we fund endowed chairs, endowed scholarships and fellowships, and endowed new programs - are most helpful and most lasting. We invite your consideration of such a gift to the Pepper Foundation.
