The Goldcoaster is a publication of the FDR Suite Foundation Inc., a public 501(c)3 charity created to preserve and restore the character of Harvard's most historic House, Adams. In addition to funding the restoration of the FDR Suite in Westmorly and maintaining the Suite's collections, the Foundation co-sponsors the annual FDR Memorial Lecture and Dinners, leads HAA historic walking tours, and hosts other events to promote the House. The Foundation also seeks to establish FDR Memorial Scholarships to benefit needy House residents.

The FDR Suite Foundation is an all volunteer organization, staffed by Adams alumni and by members of the extended Adams community.

We receive no support from the College and are funded entirely through private and corporate contributions. Care to help out? Just click the SUPPORT US button above.

Your contributions to the Foundation are fully deductible in the United States to the extent allowed by law.

We Need Your Support !

The Gold Coaster is entirely the production of a dedicated group of volunteers at the FDR Suite Foundation. But even with so much alumni effort, great publications like this don't just fall from the trees. Won't you consider supporting the Foundation's educational and preservation efforts? In addition to the Gold Coaster, your donations will help support:

• Sponsorship of the Annual FDR Memorial Lecture and Dinner at Adams House.
• Restoration of the FDR Suite, acquisition of new materials, and preservation of the Suite contents.
• Creation of an online-FDR Suite Museum for visitors from all over the world at FDR Suite.org.
• Broadcast of The New Fireside Chats, an original series of webcasts exploring the notable figures of our times.
• Documentation of the historic fabric of Adams House.
• Student Outreach, Educational & Scholarship Programs.

These activities exist solely through your contributions. The FDR Suite Foundation receives no money from Harvard College. It only takes a minute, and it's tax deductible.
