The impact of American enterprise is now global, and through war and peace it has transformed the world. Our free enterprise has fostered democracy and individual freedom. It has encouraged the education and concern for each individual as a productive citizen of our rapidly shrinking planet.

  The Free Enterprise Foundation has been created to celebrate those values and to recognize individuals and enterprises that have led the way in protecting our country's vitality through their contributions to our society. Over time, the Foundation will provide to those in commerce tools of best practice to help continually raise their level of performance.

  The Foundation will provide to the public materials inspiring a continued awareness of our responsibility as stewards to protect the civilization that has been passed to us by our ancestors' sacrifice. We will continually strive to keep those values fresh and uppermost in the minds of our citizens.
