The 1946 Society, a giving society, honors the founding year of the Fulbright Program, 1946.
In 2015, the Fulbright Association established the 1946 Society to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Program. Members enjoy exclusive benefits that include VIP event invitations, briefing sessions, and recognition at Fulbright Association programming. “1946ers” are the Fulbright Association’s most loyal and generous donors, foundational to FA’s success and impact.
Joining the 1946 Society supports the Fulbright Association’s mission to continue and extend the Fulbright tradition of education, advocacy, and service. 1946 Society members work towards this mission, in part, by donating $1,946 annually.
This support funds all of the Association’s programs, including advocacy to Capitol Hill, chapter programs nationwide, and community outreach through Fulbright in the Classroom.
We invite all donors who donate $1,946 to the FA general fund annually to this community of donors. Any questions about the Society can be directed to Associate Director for Philanthropy Claire Jagla at claire@fulbright.org or (202) 775-0725.
