Become a Founding Donor to the Isakson Legacy Fund to ensure current students and future public service leaders continue Senator Isakson’s legacy of political civility.
To honor and perpetuate Senator Isakson’s legacy of statesmanship and political civility, SPIA created the Johnny Isakson Legacy Fund in 2023. The purpose of this fund is to provide perpetual support to programs at SPIA that advance political civility and encourage common-interest problem-solving. Each year, a committee appointed by the SPIA Dean will determine how these funds will be distributed with the foremost goal of honoring Senator Isakson’s legacy in the most impactful and consequential ways. For example, in addition to the annual Isakson Symposium on Political Civility, scholarships and awards aligned with the Isakson “political civility” legacy, such as interning in organizations dedicated to bipartisanship and conflict resolution, are also within the purview of the Fund, in addition to support for curricular development and research on creating a culture of civility, leading with civility, and related topics.
