Kultuurfondi aastaauhind määrati Mare ja Rein Taageperale “teaduslike uuringute, saavutuste ja Eestile pühendatud väärtusliku panuse eest”. Laureaatide endi sõnul püüdsid nad nagu paljud teisedki pagulased 1990-ndate aastate alguses jõudumööda demokraatliku riigi arengule kaasa aidata.
Rein Taagepera tegi seda Eesti Kongressi poolt valitud Eesti Komitee liikmena, presidendikandidaadina ja Tartu ülikooli sotsiaalteaduskonna asutajana. Sellele lisandusid artiklid ajalehtedes, muuhulgas ka demokraatia olemusest ja argipraktikast, ja kodanikuõpetuse raamat 8. klassile. Mare Taagepera tegi seda Eesti saastamise probleemide esiletõstjana Läänes, teadushariduse arendajana nii Eestis kui Ameerikas ja Metsaülikooli juhatajana.

“Eestile pühendatud tegevus kestab tänaseni, kuna oleme viimane 15 aastat elanud pool aastat Tartus ja teine pool Kalifornias, õpetades ja uurimistööd tehes nii Kalifornia kui ka Tartu Ülikoolis.  See võimalus on meile endile palju andnud.  Oleme saanud taas sisse elada eesti ellu, otseselt osa võttes igapäevasest tegevusest.  Oleme saanud oma sõpruskonda oluliselt laiendada nii omavanuste kui ka noorema põlvkonna hulgas. Meie tegevust Metsaülikoolis esindabki siin meie sõber Metsaülikooli juhatusest, Marko Kass Tartust.
Metsaülikooli sihiks on Eestile oluliste probleemide arutelu ning demokraatliku käitumiskultuuri arendamine”. 
Mare ja Rein Taagepera
