Your gift to the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics can make a difference in the lives of people all over this country.
Established in 1997, the Dole Institute is dedicated to fostering new thinking about major policy issues and working to encourage student and citizen involvement in public service. The institute is recognized as one of the nation’s leading bipartisan centers for the civil discussion of politics.
More than 10,000 people attend the Dole Institute’s programs each year. The institute has brought to campus many prominent figures, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, newscaster Tom Brokaw, former Green Party vice presidential candidate Winona LaDuke and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. The institute also is home to Senator Dole's extensive legislative archives, the largest collection of its kind.
The institute invites you to join its efforts by becoming a Friend of the Dole Institute. You can become a Friend with a gift of $15 or more. Every gift — large or small — makes a difference. Major gifts can establish endowed funds, which can be named for yourself or for someone you wish to honor. Endowed funds provide financial support for the institute in perpetuity.
Give to the Dole Institute’s unrestricted fund to help us build our endowment. Your gift of any size can help us expand and preserve programs, lecture series, archiving and scholarships.
The Dole Institute’s development director will be happy to assist you in creating an endowed fund, setting up a planned gift, making another kind of gift or answering your questions. You can also use your credit card to give now online:
