Supporters of The Carter Center feel passionately that its work must continue well into the future. Guided by our mission statement, the Center must be able to address future needs and pursue new opportunities to accomplish the life-affirming and lifesaving goals of our programs. To ensure its long-term ability to wage peace, fight disease, and build hope, the Center engaged in a campaign to significantly increase its endowment fund.

The $150 million campaign goal was achieved, thanks to the generous support of individuals, corporations, foundations, and other friends at local, national, and international levels. As this corpus is invested, the income will help provide the security and flexibility required to maintain excellence in the Carter Center's initiatives.

While our campaign goal was met, the Center has an ongoing need to build permanent financial resources. Donors interested in investing in the work of the Center are invited to explore giving options with us. Commitments to endowment are accepted as outright gifts in the form of cash or securities, as pledges payable over a five-year period, and as planned gifts, which include will commitments, trusts, annuities, and other deferred and life-income instruments.
