Eisenhower Legacy Society

Sister Cities International's Planned Giving program is named for the man who did most to establish the mission of the organization: President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Eisenhower Legacy Society honors President Eisenhower's vision of citizen diplomacy - his concept of connecting people and communities in an effort to foster a more peaceful world.

The Society honors the legacy you leave for future generations and your efforts to help realize President Eisenhower's vision. Sister Cities International is committed to President Eisenhower's inspiration, which has enriched communities and touched lives around the world for nearly 50 years.
