“The barack obama foundation (the "foundation") is a nonprofit foundation which was established to plan and develop a presidential center to engage in activities reflecting president obama's and the first lady's values and priorities throughout his career in public service: expanding economic opportunity, inspiring an ethic of american citizenship, and promoting peace, justice and dignity throughout the world. The foundation envisions a presidential center that, through its mission, initiatives, and physical and virtual presence, advances and interprets the themes of civic engagement, global perspective, health and wellness, environmental stewardship, public education, a spirit of innovation, and will become an anchor for economic development and cultivate a strong relationship with the center's surrounding community. The presidential center will house the presidential library, as well as a museum and a broader campus. The presidential library will be created under the presidential libraries act of 1955 and national archives and records administration (nara) guidelines. The foundation anticipates negotiating a joint use agreement with nara regarding the operation of a portion of the presidential center.”
