Committees to raise money to pay for the foundation and pedestal were formed in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia.

One of its members was 19-year-old Theodore Roosevelt, the future governor of New York and president of the United States. On March 3, 1877, on his final full day in office, President Grant signed a joint resolution that authorized the President to accept the statue when it was presented by France and to select a site for it.
