Biden's presidential library fundraising is basically dead in the water right now. His foundation pulled in zero new donations during his final year as president and is running on $4 million from leftover inauguration cash. The foundation expects to scrape together only $11.3 million by the end of 2027, which is nowhere near the $200 million target his team wants. Some major Democratic donors are refusing to contribute because they're mad about how his staff treated them, and others are more focused on opposing Trump.
There's talk about merging the library with a Biden Hall project at the University of Delaware to save money. The university has already raised $22 million for that building, and combining the two projects could help Biden avoid needing massive fundraising. His first donor event is happening in Georgetown, but the whole thing looks pretty rough compared to Obama's $1.5 billion haul or Trump's $950 million goal for his Miami library.
