Commemorate the 250th with a Milestone Gift

Nearly 250 years ago, a bold declaration changed the course of history. The signing of the Declaration of Independence marked the birth of our nation—and the beginning of a story still unfolding today.

As we prepare to commemorate this milestone, we invite you to renew your commitment to telling America’s many stories with a gift to the National Archives Foundation.

By making a gift today, you’ll help turn these 250th anniversary programs into reality: 

A nationwide touring exhibition, debuting next spring, that will bring rarely seen documents from the National Archives to communities across the country. 
A robust year of programming, offered both in-person and virtually, that will explore the legacy of the Declaration and the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  
Civic education initiatives, including America’s 100 Docs, a nationwide interactive game inviting Americans to vote on the most significant records in our history—from the Emancipation Proclamation to the iconic photo of the 1969 moon landing.

Will you help us commemorate this milestone with a gift today?
Your support is a living tribute to the Declaration of Independence—and to the generations who have carried its promise forward.
