The Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, based in Plymouth Notch, Vermont, is the official foundation dedicated to preserving the legacy and advancing the values of America’s thirtieth president. In the absence of an official presidential library, the Coolidge Foundation was formed in 1960 by John Coolidge, the president’s son, along with a group of fellow Coolidge enthusiasts. The Articles of Association call for the Foundation “to perpetuate the memory of Calvin Coolidge.”

The Foundation’s signature initiative is the Coolidge Scholars Program. Among the most competitive and generous undergraduate awards in America, “The Coolidge” is a full-ride, four-year, merit scholarship that can be used by recipients at any accredited college or university in the United States. The Foundation also operates a national high school debate program. The centerpiece of the debate program is the Coolidge Cup National Debate Championship which begins with tournaments held in cities across the country — from Dallas to Raleigh to New York to Vermont. The winners of these tournaments are invited to compete for the Coolidge Cup on the Fourth of July, Coolidge’s birthday, in Plymouth Notch. In addition to the scholarship and debate programs, the Foundation organizes and hosts visits to Plymouth Notch for hundreds of school students each year and organizes conferences, symposia, lectures, and public events both in Plymouth Notch and around the country.
