Which nonprofit served as the administrative secretariat for America250?

The American Battlefield Trust served as the administrative secretariat for America250.

The United States Semiquincentennial Commission was created by federal legislation in 2016 to coordinate planning for the 250th anniversary. The Department of the Interior later selected the American Battlefield Trust as the commission’s nonprofit partner.

Its responsibilities included preparing reports for Congress, helping coordinate nationwide observances, and assisting with fundraising. The choice reflected the trust’s experience preserving historic battlefields and organizing large-scale historical commemorations.

The American Battlefield Trust is not the same organization as the National Park Service or the nonprofit America250 commission itself. It acted as an administrative partner supporting the federally authorized commission’s work.
