LEADERS SHAPE THE NEW CENTURY
The East-West Center is here to serve the world…We hope that many generations will learn the wisdom of the two worlds, united here, and use that wisdom for the purposes and the ends of mankind’s highest aspirations for peace and justice and freedom.
Lyndon B. Johnson, 1959
The East-West Center develops global leadership through educational programs and exchanges that help current and future leaders think, act and work with deep understanding of the people and issues in the dynamic Asia Pacific region. Through regionally focused educational programs in culturally diverse settings, our participants develop the knowledge and skills needed to navigate change in the 21st century.
Almost 500 students from 55 nations are studying at the East-West Center. And many are here thanks to the generosity of people like you!
The growing East-West Center network now consists of more than 50,000 students, scholars, and professional associates from more than 50 countries. They continue to further the mission of the Center, contributing to global understanding and making a world of difference.
THE ADVANTAGE OF A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
Approximately half of the Center’s annual budget comes from a Congressional appropriation, and the other half from contracts, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, and contributions from other governments, foundations, and individual donors, including alumni. Thanks to government support for operations, 100% of private donations go directly to support programs. Private foundation, corporate and individual contributions also help leverage the annual appropriation from the U.S. Congress. Financial support from the Center’s friends and alumni is a powerful measure of our programs’ value to the people and communities we serve.
