34 FOUNDATION AND GOVERNMENT PARTNERS Throughout IHP’s history, the support of foundations has been crucial to the delivery of its mission. Whether small family trusts or large national organizations, International House is grateful to them for their generosity and committment. Over the years, IHP has been the recipient of arts and cultural programming grants, capital improvement funds, and general operating support. As our programming grows and evolves, so do opportunities to engage foundations in support of the future of IHP. International House is proud of the many lasting relationships with private and public foundations on both regional and national levels. One such relationship exists with the Klein’s family-run Rittenhouse Foundation, started approximately 60 years ago by Esther and Phillip Klein, and which supports Philadelphia region arts and education based non-profits. This year, International House received much needed funding from the Rittenhouse Foundation to support IHP's “The First 100 Years,” the historical exhibit on view permanently in the West Alcove. If one wanders through International House, the legacy of the Klein Family and the Rittenhouse Foundation becomes clear almost immediately. Throughout the building are numerous plaques commemorating gifts and events. It is partnerships like this that enable International House to continue providing its services to the Philadelphia region ??L????????????????????????????????????????????????????????\?? ??????????????Q??? ?????????????? ???? ???? ???????????????? ?????A???????????? ????????????????????????5?5?????????????????????%???????? ??????????????1????9???????????????9???????????????????????A??????????? ???????????????A?? ????????????!??????????????%???????Q???A????????????????????Q???I?????????????????M??????A?????????????????((0
