The America250 Foundation publicly launched its website and marketing campaign in 2021.
The campaign appeared in July 2021, with advertising in more than 4,559 locations in four leading cities and a public-service announcement carried on Comcast NBCUniversal networks. This marked a visible expansion of America250 from an organizing concept into a national public campaign.
The launch came after the foundation had already been created in 2019 and after the commission’s administrative structure had been organized. Those dates are easy to mix up: 2016 refers to the commission’s establishment, 2019 to the foundation’s creation, and 2021 to the public website and marketing rollout.
