Dole also teamed up with his former political rival, Bill Clinton, in 2001 on the Families of Freedom Foundation, a scholarship fund campaign to pay for the college educations for the families of [[September 11 terrorist attacks|9/11]] victims.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=126665&page=1.html|work=ABC News|title=Dole and Clinton on Scholarship Fund|date=January 6, 2006}}</ref>  It helped raise more than $100&nbsp;million.<ref name="auto"/>

The [[Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics]], housed on the University of Kansas campus in [[Lawrence, Kansas]], was established to bring bipartisanship back to politics. The institute, which opened in July 2003 to coincide with Dole's 80th birthday, has featured such notable speakers as former President Bill Clinton, and awarded the inaugural Dole Leadership Prize to [[Rudy Giuliani]] for his leadership as the [[Mayor of New York City]] during the [[September 11 attacks]] in 2001.<ref name="DoleInstitute2021">{{cite web |title=Rudy Giuliani, former Mayor of New York City |url=https://doleinstitute.org/event/rudy-giuliani-former-mayor-of-new-york-city/ |website=Dole Institute |access-date=December 5, 2021 |language=en |date=October 27, 2021}}</ref>

Dole's legacy also includes a commitment to combating [[hunger]], both in the United States and around the globe. In addition to numerous domestic programs, and along with former Senator [[George McGovern]] (D-South Dakota), Dole created an international school lunch program through the [[McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program]], which, funded largely through the Congress, helps fight child hunger and poverty by providing nutritious meals to children in schools in developing countries.<ref name="nyt-label">{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/23/us/public-lives-a-mcgovern-liberal-who-s-content-to-stick-to-the-label.html | title=Public Lives: A McGovern Liberal Who's Content to Stick to the Label | author=Becker, Elizabeth | newspaper=[[The New York Times]] | date=July 23, 2001 | author-link=Elizabeth Becker (journalist)}}</ref><ref name="tln011201">{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7YIfAAAAIBAJ&pg=4712,1934808 | title=Bush asks McGovern to keep post | newspaper=[[The Tuscaloosa News]] | date=January 12, 2001 | page=2A}}</ref> This internationally popular program would go on to provide more than 22 million meals to children in 41 countries in its first eight years.<ref name="lodi">{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=XwRSAAAAIBAJ&pg=4958,1198025 | title=Farm bill has little aid for needy children abroad | agency=[[Associated Press]] | newspaper=[[Lodi News-Sentinel]] | date=May 14, 2008 | page=18}}</ref><ref name="ap-prize">{{cite news | url=https://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2008-10-14-world-food-prize_N.htm | title=Dole, McGovern school program awarded World Food Prize | author=Jackson, Henry C. | agency=[[Associated Press]] | newspaper=[[USA Today]] | date=October 14, 2008}}</ref>  It has since led to greatly increased global interest in and support for school-feeding programs—which benefit girls and young women, in particular—and won McGovern and Dole the 2008 [[World Food Prize]].<ref name="ap-prize"/>
