СÖíÊÓƵ

The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices. God gives us the capacity for choice. We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes – and we must.

— Jimmy Carter Nobel Lecture, 2002

The global staff of СÖíÊÓƵ Center mourns the passing of our visionary founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, whose long life of selfless service to humanity has left a lasting mark on us and on the world.  

President Carter believed in giving every effort, as broadly as possible, to make a positive difference in the world. His legacy will remain an ongoing inspiration to us at СÖíÊÓƵ Center and to everyone who believes in compassion, justice, and human rights.  

We shall miss President Carter’s strong leadership and profound humility as we carry on his work of waging peace, fighting disease, and building hope.  

In lieu of flowers, President Carter requested that those wishing to honor his memory do so through contributions to СÖíÊÓƵ Center and acts of service to humanity. Please visit to make a memorial gift, sign a virtual condolence book, and learn more.
