Sam Beard
Co-Founder, Multiplying Good and the Jefferson Awards
“Having spent fifty years of my life working to encourage and honor service, I enthusiastically endorse the creation of the National Museum and Center for Service. We need a nationally recognized place for people to honor and learn about service that lifts us all up through the gift of helping others.”
Hillary Beard Schafer
CEO, Multiplying Good
“We believe individuals are transformed through service to others and that recognition and storytelling are instrumental to inspiring more people to serve. The creation of a national museum dedicated to service will surely support this goal and provide a much-needed spotlight on America and Americans at our best — serving in support of one another and the common good.”

Neil Bush
Chair, Points of Light Board of Directors
“When my dad, President George H.W. Bush, founded the Daily Point of Light Award from the White House in 1990, it was to honor the spirit of everyday individuals who saw a need in their community and stepped forward to say, “I can help.” It is exciting to think that NMCFS can bring a physical epicenter to the movement of volunteering and honor all the people who have stepped up in times of great need in our country.”
