The Obama Foundation is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization founded in 2014. It oversees the creation of the Barack Obama Presidential Center, runs the My Brother's Keeper Alliance, a program Barack Obama began while he was President, and operates a scholarship program through the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy. HistoryThe Foundation held its inaugural summit on October 31, 2017, in Chicago. According to Obama, he intends for the foundation to be central to his post-presidential activities, which he sees as having the potential to be more consequential than his time in the White House.[1] On September 25, 2018, an IRS report revealed that the Foundation no longer identified any possible mega-donors.[2] Barack Obama Presidential Center{{main|Barack Obama Presidential Center}}The Foundation's major project {{as of|3|2018|lc=yes}} is to oversee the creation of the planned presidential library of former President Obama. In May 2015, the Foundation, along with Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, announced the development of the Center and its location in the Jackson Park neighborhood of Chicago's South Side.[3] On February 26, 2019, Chicago residents voted to require a community benefits agreement in order to make the Center official, something which the Obama Foundation has objected to.[4][5] My Brother's Keeper AllianceThe My Brother's Keeper Alliance (MBK Alliance) is a program inspired by President Obama's My Brother's Keeper Challenge that he started through the White House in 2014. Its purpose is to address challenges and opportunity gaps that boys and young men of color face, providing support through mentoring, education, job training, and other activities.[6][7] In 2017, MBK Alliance was moved into the Obama Foundation.[8] ScholarshipIn February 2018 the Foundation announced it had begun a scholarship program at the University of Chicago. The scholarships are awarded to 25 American and international master's students in the Harris School of Public Policy in an effort to cultivate leadership through the Presidential Center. It covers the students' tuition and living expenses while they work with the foundation and take classes.[9][10] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/31/barack-obama-foundation-summit-244393?lo=ap_c1|title=Obama, opening his foundation's first summit, calls for fixing civic culture|publisher=Politico|date=October 31, 2017}} 2. ^https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/obama-foundation-irs-filing-top-exec-salary-862k-donors-fundraising/ 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/13/us/chicago-president-obama-library.html|title=Chicago Wins Bid to Host Obama Library|first1=Julie|last1=Bosman|first2=Mitch|last2=Smith|date=May 12, 2015|work=New York Times|access-date=January 10, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/a-rare-election-night-loss-for-obama-voters-back-benefits-pact-for-presidential-center/|title=A rare election-night loss for Obama: Voters back benefits pact for presidential center|author=Rachel Hinton|publisher=Chicago Sun Times|date=March 1, 2019|accessdate=March 1, 2019}} 5. ^https://blockclubchicago.org/2019/02/27/south-side-voters-tell-city-officials-the-obama-center-needs-a-community-benefits-agreement/ 6. ^{{cite web|work=Washington Post|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2017/10/03/my-brothers-keeper-forges-ahead-with-obama-and-despite-trump/|last=Capehart|first=Jonathan|date=October 3, 2017|title=My Brother's Keeper forges ahead with Obama and despite Trump}} 7. ^{{cite web|work=All Things Considered|publisher=NPR|last=Horsley|first=Scott|url=https://www.npr.org/2016/12/26/507021405/obamas-post-white-house-plans-include-my-brothers-keeper-effort|date=December 26, 2016|title=Obama's Post-White House Plans Include My Brother's Keeper Effort}} 8. ^{{cite web|work=Nonprofit Quarterly|url=https://nonprofitquarterly.org/2017/09/07/brothers-keeper-merges-obama-foundation/|last=Holly|first=Danielle|date=September 7, 2017|title=My Brother’s Keeper Merges with Obama Foundation}} 9. ^{{cite web|work=Chicago Tribune|title=Obama Foundation announces new scholarships to groom leaders|date=February 28, 2018|last=Bowan|first=Lolly|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/obamacenter/ct-met-obama-scholars-20180228-story.html}} 10. ^{{cite web|work=Chicago Sun-Times|url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-politics/obama-foundation-u-of-chicago-scholars-program-1-million-to-cut-youth-crime/|title=Obama Foundation: U. of Chicago scholars program; $4 million to cut youth crime|last=Sweet|first=Lynn|date=February 28, 2018}} External links
