The 1946 Society
The 1946 Society honors the founding year of the Fulbright Program and plays a pivotal role in our mission. This campaign is committed to strengthening advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill, replenishing chapter funding, and expanding community outreach.
Your Impact as a “1946er”:
Advocacy & National Impact: Your annual contribution of $1,946 helps ensure that key initiatives—like our letter-writing campaigns, events, and strategic outreach—continue to safeguard the program’s future.
Local Engagement: By replenishing chapter funds, your donation directly supports alumni networking, local programs, and educational outreach, including Fulbright in the Classroom.
Exclusive Benefits: As a member of the 1946 Society, you receive VIP event invitations, access to briefing sessions, and recognition during Fulbright Association programming.
Join the Mission:
This effort is a unified call to all who believe in the transformative power of global exchange. Every donation, whether it’s your first or an increased annual gift, fortifies our efforts to support Fulbright’s mission in a rapidly evolving world.
We invite all donors who contribute $1,946 annually to the Fulbright Association general fund to join our community of “1946ers.” If you have any questions, please contact us at development@fulbright.org or call (202) 775-0725.
Together, through the 1946 Society, we will secure a brighter future for global exchange and honor the enduring legacy of the Fulbright Program.
