1-4-3. I l-o-v-e y-o-u. Donations at or above certain amounts (see above!) will automatically include you in the 143 Club. It's our way of saying thank you for supporting Fred Rogers' legacy and our work. Three boxes outlining the different membership levels of the 143 Club: Helpers, Sustainers, and Legacy Builders. Each box highlights the benefits available at each level, including a welcome package, newsletter, exclusive webinar access, and a special end-of-year gift sent by mail.

The 143 Club allows you to be part of advancing the legacy of Fred Rogers by investing in the strengths of families and caring adults to support the healthy development of children. Your contribution to the 143 Club supports:

  • Educator’s Neighborhood, a year-long professional development community of practice that allows educators to deepen their application of Fred Rogers' work and theory to their work with children
  • The Symposium Series, our free virtual learning opportunities for caregivers and educators.
  • The development of resources for caring adults, informed and inspired by Fred’s legacy.
  • Researchers, educators, and students to study in the Fred Rogers Archive and learn from Fred’s original work and develop new ways of carrying forward his timeless approach and lessons.
