About Our Donors
The Carter Center received generous support from more than
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, founded The Carter Center in 1982.
The Carters first envisioned the Center as a miniature Camp David, dedicated to conflict resolution. Over time, the mission evolved as they saw opportunities to fill gaps in peacemaking and global health.
For decades, both Carters remained deeply involved in the overall direction and daily operation of the Center. They traveled extensively and remained passionately engaged
in the work.
And while they are no longer with us, we strive every day to honor their legacy by fulfilling their mission to wage peace, fight disease, and build hope around the world.
