Watch Former President Obama, Michelle Obama Announce New Endeavor
Chicago-based Obama Foundation will be "a working center for citizenship"
On the morning of Donald Trump's inauguration, outgoing President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama unveiled The Obama Foundation, their first major project upon exiting the White House. The Foundation will be based in the south side of Chicago and facilitate projects "all over the city, the country and the world."
In a video, the Obamas asked viewers to help shape the Foundation by contributing suggestions via the site's "Your Voice" section.
"After eight years in the White House, Michelle and I now rejoin all of you as private citizens," Obama said. "We want to thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the incredible privilege of serving this country that we love."
