The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc.

The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc., SOLEIF, is a non-profit organization, founded in 1982, to raise funds for the restoration and preservation of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Since then these monuments have had a continuing need for further preservation and rehabilitation activities in order to protect resources, provide opportunities for visitor experiences, and serve the public programs in education, recreation, and culture and historic continuity.

It is the Foundation’s responsibility, as the designated primary fundraiser, to help meet these needs by generating private revenue through a variety of sources, and to work with the National Park Service in coordinating activities and projects that serve this mission.

Our newest project is the construction of a brand new Statue of Liberty Museum, set to open in 2019. Learn more about this project at www.statueoflibertymuseum.org.
