Which federal commission coordinates the United States' America250 anniversary programs?

The United States Semiquincentennial Commission coordinates the United States' America250 anniversary programs.

Congress established the commission through legislation signed in 2016. Its purpose is to plan and promote observances commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence and the founding-era events associated with 1776.

The commission is a congressional, nonpartisan organization. Its work includes nationwide educational, cultural, commemorative, and civic programs rather than a single ceremony in one city.

The commission's public-facing America250 identity can sometimes be confused with the United States Bicentennial organizations of the 1970s. The earlier celebration was administered by the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission and later the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration.
