US EditionBiden Has Raised Little For a Presidential Library: Report
Biden Library Foundation projects $11.3 million fundraising by 2027 and considers merging with University of Delaware’s Biden Hall to reduce costs amid slow donor outreach.
- The New York Times reported Biden's library fundraising lags, with IRS filings showing no money raised in 2024 and just $4 million from the 2021 inauguration.
- Some loyal donors said they had not been contacted and other Democratic donors told the Times they were unlikely to give, while longtime Democratic donor John Morgan refused support after a recent dinner with former President Bill Clinton.
- The Biden library foundation incorporated in December 2024, chaired by Rufus Gifford with Annie Tomasini and Anthony Bernal as co-executive directors, contracted CCS Fundraising and delayed fundraisers for intensive research.
- People close to planning say discussions are underway about merging a Biden library with the University of Delaware’s Biden Hall, which has raised at least $22 million but transferred no funds to the library foundation.
- Modern presidential libraries now include museums and event spaces, and by comparison, Barack Obama has raised $1.5 billion while Donald Trump is pursuing nearly $1 billion, leaving Biden well short.
