Griffin Funds Roosevelt Library

Hedge fund king Kenneth Griffin just gave $26 million to finish Theodore Roosevelt’s long-awaited presidential library—set to open July 4, 2026, on America’s 250th birthday. The new west wing, named after Griffin, will house exhibits, learning spaces, and gathering areas dedicated to the 26th president, who never had a library during his lifetime. Located in the North Dakota Badlands—the place where Roosevelt found solace after personal tragedy and forged his conservation legacy—the library will be the nation’s first carbon-neutral presidential library. It honors Roosevelt’s monumental land protections and his enduring impact on American conservation. Griffin, a history preservation powerhouse, has also donated rare constitutional copies and supported major national landmarks, ensuring Roosevelt’s legacy finally gets the dedicated home it deserves.
