What organization is the private nonprofit partner of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission?

The America250 Foundation is the private nonprofit partner of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission.

The foundation was created in 2019 by the commission and the American Battlefield Trust. Under a master service agreement enacted in May 2020, it became the commission’s primary service provider for work connected with the nationwide anniversary effort.

The foundation should not be confused with the commission itself. The commission is the congressionally appointed body, while the foundation is a private nonprofit partner. The American Battlefield Trust has a separate role as the commission’s administrative secretariat.

The organizations share the America250 brand and website, which can make their legal and operational distinctions easy to miss. Together, they support public programs, educational efforts, fundraising, and coordination for the United States Semiquincentennial.
