EspañolFRANKLIN AND ELEANOR ROOSEVELT INSTITUTE
The Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute (FERI), located in Hyde Park, New York, is as the non-profit funding arm of the nation's first presidential library, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. Its mission is to inform new generations of the ideals and achievements of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt.
The Franklin D. Roosevelt Foundation, founded by the President’s friends in 1939 with the express purpose of building the first presidential library, an effort directed by FDR to bring order and security to the preservation of the nation’s historical records.
The Four Freedoms Foundation, founded in 1951 to promote the ideals of FDR’s Four Freedoms; and the Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, founded in 1972 as the successor to the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Foundation that was responsible for building the Eleanor Roosevelt wing of the FDR Library. The purpose of these organizations was not to memorialize Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, but rather to promote the study of the history of the momentous era in which they played such prominent roles and to inspire others to carry forward their public legacy.
A series of organizational mergers followed the celebrations, programs and events that took place around the centennials of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelts’ births in 1982 and 1984 respectively.
In 1982, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Foundation merged with the Four Freedoms Foundation to strengthen their shared mission of bringing contemporary relevance to the history of the Roosevelt era.
In 1987, the Eleanor Roosevelt Institute merged with the FDR Four Freedoms Foundation and the new organization was named the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute (FERI).
