Richard Nixon Foundation: 

The Richard Nixon Foundation applies the legacy and vision of President Richard Nixon to defining issues that face our nation and the world today. The Yorba Linda-based Foundation actively encourages and supports scholarship, sponsors in-person and online programs that engage the public with American civics, creates and promotes educational programs and exhibits rooted in American history, and fosters discussion and debate about America’s thirty-seventh president.

The Richard Nixon Foundation owns the nine-acre campus on which the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum sits. The Yorba Linda campus includes the home in which President Nixon was born in 1913, and the flower-ringed Memorial Site of President and Mrs. Nixon. The Richard Nixon Foundation jointly co-operates the presidential library site with the National Archives and Records Administration.
