About the White House Historical Association
Founded by former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, The White House Historical Association is the non-profit 501c3 focused on the preservation of the Executive Mansion and the White House art and historic furnishings collection. The Association serves the public and learners of all ages through our robust educational offerings including the White House History Teacher Institute, our online game “Brief the Chief”, Digital Library, and wide variety of public programming. As a non-partisan organization, we work with and honor the legacies of First Families of all political backgrounds and affiliations.
In the fall of 2024, the White House Historical Association will open The People's House: A White House Experience. Adjacent to the west side of the White House complex, this new center tells the story of the Executive Mansion, its inhabitants, and the people who have dedicated their careers to its functions - a working office to the executive branch of government, a world stage to global diplomacy, and a home to the first family. Free to the public, The People's House: A White House Experience can impact 300,000 visitors each year and many more through its virtual programs.
Experienced fundraising professionals are sought to help engage new major and principal gift donors across the United States in its exciting mission.
