For the next five years, America250 will partner with communities, states, Tribes, federal agencies, nonprofits, cultural and educational institutions, governments, and brands around the country and the world to celebrate and commemorate 250 years of American independence.

State partnerships
America250 is encouraging each U.S. state and territory, as well as the District of Columbia, to form its own America250 commission or state-designated entity to plan for the nation’s 250th anniversary. Over the next five years, America250 will work in full partnership with each of these state and territorial entities to facilitate coordination and collaboration, and to ensure the broadest possible participation and visibility during this historic commemoration.
Tribal partnerships
America250 honors the unique government-to-government relationship between Tribal nations and the United States, and we commit to partnering with Tribal nations and organizations. As we kick off our efforts to support this historic commemoration, we will collaborate with Tribal organizations, nations, and communities to engage with America’s complicated past, understand our present, and envision our future together as we build toward 2026 and beyond.
