Support > Forum Foundation

In 1940, several farsighted City Club members created an affiliated organization that would give individuals an opportunity to support free speech with contributions that would be tax-deductible. They established the Forum Foundation endowment whereby these contributions would grow through investments and generate an annual “grant” to support program related activities, primarily at The City Club.

Over the years, the endowment has grown to more than $1.6 million thanks to the generosity of many individuals who are annually recognized at a Friday Forum. These contributions, as well as several bequests, have been a tremendous asset to The City Club.

A contribution of $50,000 to the Forum Foundation endowment will recognize an individual at a Forum annually. Additionally, a planned gift, such as a charitable gift annuity, bequest, retirement account or an insurance policy will create a legacy for the contributor as well as this citadel of free speech. For more information regarding the Forum Foundation endowment or creating a planned gift, contact our Development Director at yeip@cityclub.org.
