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.
