About the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project

Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the most significant American women of the twentieth century, and remains one of the most admired.

The Foundation's fundraising drive sparked a dramatic response. The American people contributed more than $500 million (and counting!) to the repair, restoration, and maintenance of these two great monuments to freedom. All funds for the Foundation’s projects have come from the American people – no government funds have been used.
