1787 Society

Support the National Constitution Center’s crucial mission to increase awareness and understanding of the U.S. Constitution. As a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, the Center relies on the generous support of our members to help us inspire millions of learners to think about the Constitution more deeply and promote civic dialogue for all.

The 1787 Society, named for the year the Constitutional Convention proposed the U.S. Constitution, is comprised of our most dedicated supporters. 1787 Society donors enjoy a variety of exclusive benefits, including VIP invitations to special programs and events, special recognition opportunities, and exclusive communications from Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen.
