Endowment for faculty study groups, preceptorials, acquisitions, lectures, and outreach programs dealing with American founding documents and topics.

St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, is applying for a "We the People" challenge grant of $1,000,000 to be matched by $3,000,000 raised to endow activities and library acquisitions centered on "We the People" themes. An endowment dedicated to these themes ensures that works and ideas in U.S. history, events, and culture are given proper consideration in a curriculum that spans thousands of years and examines subjects as diverse as ontology and quantum physics. The bulk of the "We the People" activities will be in four areas: faculty study groups, preceptorials, lectures, and outreach programs.
