Kennedy; to engage new and established audiences so they may learn how to translate these legacies into action. Values: The Board values the ideals articulated by President John F. Kennedy and seeks to promote civil discourse, civil rights, civic literacy, diversity, public and community service, and responsible citizenship. The Board commits to support the efforts of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library to inspire current and future generations to explore science and technology, culture and creativity, issues of war and peace, and problems of ignorance and prejudice. The Board understands that the privileges of a nations citizens can be no greater than their obligations, and that the protection of individual rights depends upon the performance of our civic responsibilities. The Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum receives an annual federal appropriation for building maintenance and a portion of its personnel costs, the appropriation from Congress amounts to 37% of the library and foundation's annual operating budget. The balance is provided by income generated from admission fees to museum, museum store sales, usage fees for the library's meeting facilities, and through the generosity of thousands of private individuals, corporations, and foundations who donate money and in-kind services to the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. In 2013, the Kennedy Library Foundation contributed approximately 47%, or $9.3 million, of the library and foundation's projected $19.9 million annual operating budget. THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS library programs, the John F. Kennedy award programs, digital archive project, marketing and communication proGRAMS, the Kennedy library forums, and the 50th anniversary events of President Kennedy's administration.

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Digital Archives and Web Development - The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation worked with The National Archives and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum to create an online digital library consisting of the most important papers, documents, photographs, video and audio recordings of President John F. Kennedy for the purpose of making them accessible to citizens throughout the world. The projects' objectives are five-fold: the long-term preservation of administration records, photographs, documents, video and audio; online accessibility to a worldwide audience; enhance one's ability to search the collection using metadata; protecting historical assets through remote replication; and minimizing wear and tear on irreplaceable physical assets. The online digital archives currently provides online access to approximately 426,000 pages of documents from the most important collections in the Library's holdings, including the President's Office Files, JFK's 1960 Campaign Files, and the National Security Files; 13,700 photographs from the White House Photograph Collection, 1,500 sound recordings from the Presidential Recording Series of the President's Office Files; 160 moving images, and 1,500 oral histories. In addition, many more items have been digitized and are waiting to be catalogued including approximately 7,600 White House photographs and over 210,000 pages of archival documents, from the 1960 Campaign series of the Lawrence F. O'Brien Personal Papers; four series of the National Security Files; the civil rights series of the Burke Marshall Personal Papers; and two series from JFK's Senate Files. The Foundation is currently partnering with Deluxe, a preeminent Hollywood film company that specializes in the preservation, digitization, and metadata cataloguing of film footage. Their generous in-kind gift will make possible the preservation and digitization of some of the archives' most important and historical film footage and audiovisual assets. The digital archives project is heavily supported by student interns. The Foundation fundS 20-40 interns per year. The Foundation supports the www.JFKLibrary.org website, which provides access to the online digital archives. Since its launch in January 2011, the site has received 10,044,410 visits from 7,491,526 unique visitors who logged 33,350,751 page views. In its third year, between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the website has drawn 4,120,651 Visits, a 36% increase over 2012; and 3,101,430 Unique Visitors, a 39% increase over 2012. Of those visitors, 74% were new visitors (3,073,235), and 26% were returning visitors (1,047,416). The US represented 78% of website visits. Mobile (631,543) and tablet (389,776) devices represented 25% of all visits in 2013, up from 13% in all of 2011. Mobile visits increased by 160% over 2013 (242,481), and tablet visits increased by 154% over 2013 (153,412). For the first time, Safari was our top browser, beating Internet Explorer.

The Foundation, along with its pro-bono advertising firm, The Martin Agency, created www.AnIdeaLivesOn.org, an online tribute to President Kennedy that aims to create a multigenerational conversation about the many ways in which the legacy of our nation's 35th president lives on today. Named for President Kennedy's poignant observation that, "A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on," the project invites the public to participate in the creation of an interactive documentary, putting a modern, human face on the enduring impact of John F. Kennedy. Participants in the project include Congressman John Lewis, comedian and Foundation Board member Conan O'Brien, NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, actor Martin Sheen, House Leader Nancy Pelosi, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, journalist Luke Russert, poet Richard Blanco, South Bend, Indiana Mayor Peter Buttigieg, former U.S. Senator Paul Kirk, and others. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b | Communications, Marketing and Social Media - The Museum at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library is the fifth largest paid attraction in the City of Boston. In 2013 the Museum had 179,095 Daytime Visitors. The Foundation provides direct support in promoting the Museum as a national and international tourist destination and attraction and to serve as the Library's representative to the travel and tourism. Marketing and Sales is responsible for promoting paid attendance to the Museum, representing the Museum at travel conferences, trade shows, domestic and international sales missions and group tour meetings; and overseeing the design and production of all marketing and promotional materials including rack cards, brochures, posters, displays, and subway stop directional signage. The Communications Department leads the institution's communication efforts by managing all media relations, orchestrating press events, editing and producing publications and printed materials, overseeing and producing website content, and utilizing new media and social marketing to engage on-line audiences. The Communications team coordinates the JFK Library's social media presence, including on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Tumblr. As of December 2012, the Foundation was connected with approximately 30,000 people on Facebook, 36,000 followers on Twitter, nearly 14,112 followers on Tumblr, 871 followers on Pinterest, 341 followers on Instagram, and 50,000 contacts in our email marketing database. There were also over 2.5 million downloads of video material on the Foundation's YouTube channel. The Foundation, along with its pro-bono advertising firm, The Martin Agency, created an interactive multimedia documentary marking the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The website, www.CloudsOverCuba.com, invites visitors to enter an immersive documentary that lays out the full story of the Crisis in riveting detail, beginning in 1959 and continuing on until the missiles are removed in 1962. The interactive microsite also shows one fictional vision of how the world might be different today had the Missile Crisis escalated into nuclear war. Since launch, the site has had more than 560,000 page views from visitors from over 170 countries. The Kennedy Library Foundation also collaborated with AT&T, the lead sponsor of the JFK Library's new special exhibit "To the Brink: JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis," to create an app and website based on the exhibit, bringing it to online audiences around the world. The app is available for free download in the Apple Store and at www.JFKCMC.org, where Android phone and tablet users can also experience the exhibit. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4c | Education and Public Programs - The Foundation continues to support the education and public programs to provide an extensive and diverse roster of programs for students and teachers, adults, families, and web visitors. They include history and civic education offerings, public forums on both contemporary issues and historical topics, gallery talks and demonstrations, and performing arts series. Programs are mission-driven and are audience-centered. These programs help people understand the history of JFK's era; promote debate and discussion of issues at the heart of contemporary democracy today that relate to the legacy of President Kennedy; promote engagement with the arts; and inspire current and future generations to political participation and public service. To mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, on August 18, 2013, the Kennedy Library hosted a special conference featuring a keynote address by Congressman John Lewis, and a film screening on the 28th of a documentary on the life of Bayard Rustin, chief architect of the March. A panel discussion at the conference included Clayborne Carson and Peniel Joseph, civil rights activist Elaine Jones, Kennedy administration official Harris Wofford, and veteran journalist Callie Crossley. With the exception of web offerings, the vast majority of our audiences served through these programs are K-12 students and adult forum attendees. On average, the programs serve approximately 39,000 people a year. As the only presidential library in New England and the region's premier content-provider of educational resources focusing on 20th-century American history, social studies, and civics, through the support of the Foundation the Library is able to serve more than 17,000 students through in-depth guided and self-guided programs, and award-winning enrichment programs. School programs focus on history and/or civic education topics that are curriculum-relevant and mindful of state and national standards. History education programs feature a targeted exploration of the museum galleries paired with onsite classroom activities highlighting documentary source materials from the Library's collections. Civic education programs are geared largely to high school audiences. Opportunities are provided for students from rural, urban and suburban schools to examine together in a multi-school setting such contemporary issues as the federal budget, and give them the tools to be both informed and active citizens. A school program for large student groups from around the country features a docent-facilitated gallery offering highlighting key decisions of JFK's presidency. Programs are free for New England school groups. Free bus transportation to the Library for Boston and Lynn, MA Public Schools eliminates barriers to access for these under-resourced schools. The Foundation continued to support events in celebration of the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's administration. On September 10, 2013, the Kennedy Library Foundation and global law firm Bingham McCutchen LLP joined together at the San Francisco Jazz Center in San Francisco to host a panel discussion, "Leading with Diversity in a Global Economy." The event was the third and final event in the JFK50: Justice for All series of forums underscoring the importance of diversity in the workplace. The San Francisco program was hosted by Jay Zimmerman, Chairman of Bingham and moderated by John Yang, a Peabody Award-winning correspondent with NBC News. Panelists included former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, NBA player and Stanford All- American Jason Collins, Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye, Raytheon Chairman and CEO William H. Swanson, and Bingham partner Thurgood Marshall Jr. On November 22, the Glass Pavilion in the Kennedy Presidential Library served as a broadcast studio for a nationally televised live tribute to President Kennedy. Musicians James Taylor, Paul Winter, whose sextet was invited by Jacqueline Kennedy to be the first jazz ensemble ever to play at the White House, and the United States Naval Academy Women's Glee Club, performed musical selections including two from the President's State Funeral. They were joined by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick; Elaine Jones, director-counsel emeritus of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, and former Peace Corps volunteer to Turkey; US Naval Commander, Navy SEAL, and NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, who just returned from six months on the International Space Station; 2013 Presidential Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco; and Sarah Groustra, an 8th Grade student from Edward Devotion School in Brookline, MA attended by John F. Kennedy, Brookline, Massachusetts, who read excerpts from a selection of President Kennedy's most historic and inspiring speeches. A moment of silence was initiated by Governor Patrick at 2 p.m., the time the President's death was announced to the nation. Also as part of the November 22 observances, the Foundation supported a new Museum temporary exhibit titled "A Nation Remembers: A Special Display of Artifacts from the President's Funeral", featuring a selection of artifacts from the President's State Funeral that have never before been displayed. Items on display include the American flag that draped the President's coffin and was presented to Jacqueline Kennedy; the saddle, sword, and boots from Black Jack, the rider less horse that followed the President's horse-drawn coffin in the funeral cortege; the Green Beret left by a serviceman on the President's gravesite; notes handwritten by Jacqueline Kennedy as she planned the funeral; and a short video commissioned by the Library and Foundation featuring historic film footage and photographs of the State Funeral. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d | The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award is presented annually to public servants who have made courageous decisions of conscience without regard for the personal or professional consequences. The award is named for President Kennedy's 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Profiles in Courage, which recounts the stories of eight U.S. Senators who risked their careers, incurring the wrath of constituents or powerful interest groups, by taking principled stands for unpopular positions. The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation created the Profile in Courage Award in 1989 to honor President Kennedy's commitment and contribution to public service. In 2013, the award was presented to Former President George H. W. Bush in recognition of the political courage he demonstrated as President when he agreed to a 1990 budget compromise which reversed his 1988 campaign pledge not to raise taxes and put his re-election prospects at risk, and Paul W. Bridges, former mayor of Uvalda, Georgia, for risking his mayoral career with his decision to publicly oppose a controversial immigration law in Georgia. The John F. Kennedy New Frontier Awards were created by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and Harvard's Institute of Politics to honor Americans under the age of 40 who are changing their communities and the country with their commitment to public service. The awards are presented annually to two exceptional individuals whose contributions in elective office, community service, or advocacy demonstrate the impact and the value of public service in the spirit of John F. Kennedy. In 2013, the awards were presented to Congresswomen Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), one of the first two female combat veterans to serve in the U.S. Congress and an emerging leader on veterans' issues, and Charles Best, Founder and CEO of DonorsChoose.org, a pioneering online charity that connects individual donors with public school teachers to meet classroom teaching needs. |
