Our Mission

The Diplomacy Center Foundation is the private-sector partner to the U.S. Department of State in creating the National Museum of American Diplomacy (NMAD)—the first museum dedicated to telling the history, practice, and challenges of American diplomacy. We support NMAD through generous donations made by individuals, foundations, and corporations. With these contributions, we aid NMAD in sharing stories of American diplomacy, honoring the contributions of the American diplomatic community, and preserving the legacy of American diplomacy for generations to come.
