The Blair House Foundation
Preserving and Enhancing The President’s Guest House
About The Foundation
Founded in 1985, the Blair House Foundation is a charitable, tax-exempt, non-partisan organization committed to raising private funds from across the nation to create and maintain the beautiful rooms, gardens, and amenities of Blair House.
Government funding supports the staffing and structural needs of Blair House, but it is the Foundation’s responsibility to preserve and refresh the furnishings, décor, fine arts, and gardens. Through the generosity of American individuals, foundations, and corporations, the Foundation is able to ensure Blair House remains a beautiful and welcoming home away from home for world leaders.
