A classroom for democracy Core Education Programs
Each year, the Truman Library Institute invests more than a half-million dollars in nationally acclaimed educational programs for schoolchildren and their teachers, who rely on our nation’s best presidential museum as an essential resource for history education. These programs help them to not only learn, but also embrace the study of history, government and the importance of civic engagement. Show more
Your support helps open the doors to some of the greatest lessons in leadership our country has to offer, including The White House Decision Center, Guided Museum Tours, Educational Outreach Programs, Research Grants and Awards program, Teacher in-service training and workshops, the Summer Teacher Institute, and National History Day.
Truman’s legacy teaches students that by our values, decisions and investments, ordinary people can make and extraordinary difference. It’s why kids love Harry Truman – in him they can see their own potential for greatness.
Scholarships "The Bus Stops Here" Field Trip Grant Program
Annual underwriting needed $20,000+
The recent economic downturn has decimated local school districts’ budgets, which in turn has dramatically diminished teachers’ abilities to expose their students to valuable learning opportunities outside of their classrooms. Show more
In response, the Institute created The ‘Bus Stops Here’ Field Trip Grant Program. This program underwrites museum admission fees and program-related expenses so students may access exhibitions and educational programs, like Museum Tours, the White House Decision Center and the Truman Footlocker Program – all free of charge.
Sponsorships Museum Exhibitions
Various levels available starting at $5,000+
The Harry S. Truman Library and Museum is home to more than 32,000 artifacts, 112,000 photographs, and 15,000,000 documents that chronicle the life and times our nation’s 33rd president. Show more
Special exhibition underwriters provide the funds which enable the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum to continue presenting exciting temporary exhibits that complement our permanent exhibitions and make each visitor’s experience more compelling and informative. These exhibits further share chapters in Harry Truman’s life – stories that will help future generations understand and appreciate the high standard to which we should hold all of our nation’s leaders accountable.
