The America250 Foundation was founded in 2019.
The foundation was created by the United States Semiquincentennial Commission and the American Battlefield Trust as a private nonprofit partner. It works under the America250 identity alongside the federal commission.
Its creation came after the commission itself was established in 2016 and after the trust was selected as the commission’s administrative secretariat in 2018. These dates describe related but separate stages of the anniversary effort.
The foundation became the commission’s primary service provider under a master service agreement enacted in May 2020. This structure allows the statutory commission and its nonprofit partner to work together while retaining distinct organizational roles.
