Bryce Harlow Foundation
In 1982, the Bryce Harlow Foundation was established. The Foundation has awarded the prestigious Bryce Harlow Award to an individual who has worked to advance business-government relations and whose integrity, dedication and professionalism echo the work and life of the late Bryce Harlow. Recipients of the award have included Vice President Dick Cheney, former Senate Majority Leaders Robert Dole, Howard Baker, and Trent Lott, and Senators Richard Lugar and Daniel Inouye. The award is presented each spring at the Bryce Harlow Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C.. At the dinner, the Foundation also honors an individual with the Business-Government Relations Award. The 2012 recipients of the Bryce Harlow Award and the Business-Government Relations Award are United States Senator Joe Lieberman and Ms. Josephine Cooper, respectively.
Additionally, the Foundation selects approximately twenty part-time Washington, D.C. area graduate students each year to receive the prestigious Bryce Harlow Fellowship. The Fellowship includes a $6,000 award for tuition assistance, mentoring from the Foundation's Board of Governors, and educational programs through the Fellowship's alumni association. Past fellows have worked at trade associations, lobbying firms, consulting firms, United States Senate offices, U.S. House of Representatives offices, and the White House. The Foundation entertains applications for the Bryce Harlow Fellowship program every spring.
The Bryce Harlow Foundation also promotes integrity in professional advocacy through workshops and advocacy forums at educational institutions in Washington, D.C. The current president of the Bryce Harlow Foundation is Linda Dooley, wife of former Congressman Cal Dooley.

“Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
