Center for Public Affairs
The Reagan Center for Public Affairs is the public policy arm of the Reagan Foundation. Currently, the Center sponsors quarterly Reagan Forums, an annual Reagan Lecture, and special conferences. Funds are needed to support the current programs and to allow us to expand our offerings.
Quarterly Reagan Forums
$100,000 Annual Grant, $25,000 per Forum, or $1 Million Endowment Gift
The Reagan Forums feature thought leaders from one of four disciplines (government and politics, business and industry, the media, and academia) to address the ongoing relevance of President Reagan's legacy. In essence, these presentations provide the greatest evidence that the lessons learned during the President’s tenure in office continue to form and guide the times in which we live. Among the individuals who have addressed the Forum recently are Larry Elder (KABC Radio Talk Show Host) and Senator John McCain (Arizona Senator).
Annual Reagan Lecture
$25,000 Annual Grant or $250,000 Endowment Gift
The Reagan Lecture is an opportunity to honor the Presidency of Ronald Wilson Reagan and to reflect upon how our 40th President’s leadership continues to be relevant today in America: on its politics, on its policies and most importantly, on its people. Inaugurated in 1995, The Reagan Lecture is a platform for leading public officials who have followed in Ronald Reagan’s footsteps to reaffirm and reapply the principles that guided the President and shaped his enduring legacy. Previous Lecturers include Chief Justice John G. Robert’s, Jr. (Justice of the Supreme Court), Karl Rove (Senior Advisor to the President), Condoleezza Rice (Secretary of State), and Alan Greenspan (Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).
Business and Public Policy Conferences
$250,000 Annual Grant per Conference or $5 Million Endowment Gift
Multi-day conferences allow a more in-depth discussion on relevant public policy issues. These conferences have included subjects such as: Substance Abuse in the 21st Century: Positioning the Nation for Progress, The Press and the Presidency, Living in the White House, Do Conservatives have a Sense of Humor?, and Eight Years that Changed the World: The Regan Legacy in the New Century.
