On December 1, join the GivingTuesday movement to spread generosity by supporting the Diplomacy Center Foundation (DCF). A global day of giving, GivingTuesday was created in 2012 with the idea for a day that encourages people to do good. This idea has since grown into a year-round movement, inspiring hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. The last GivingTuesday, on December 3, 2019, generated $2 billion in giving just in the United States. It also inspired millions of people worldwide to volunteer, perform acts of kindness, and donate their voices, time, money, and goods.
Your support of DCF on GivingTuesday helps us in our mission to share the story of American diplomacy and to create the first national museum dedicated to American diplomacy. While the National Museum of American Diplomacy (NMAD) is under development, NMAD hosts temporary exhibits, educational programs, and teacher trainings that explore the history of American diplomacy, share how diplomacy impacts our everyday lives, and honor the contributions of members of the diplomatic community.
2020 has been a difficult year for everyone, with no one left untouched by the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many museums, NMAD remains closed, but it has shifted to offering educational and public programs virtually so that we can explore American diplomacy from home. In these uncertain times, your support—no matter how large or small—helps keep NMAD active and our mission alive.
For GivingTuesday, we hope you will support the Diplomacy Center Foundation in any way you can. Here is how you can join us on GivingTuesday and help us fulfill our vision.
Share. Celebrate. Give.
On December 1, join us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram as we share our story and celebrate the individuals who are helping make NMAD a reality. Here’s how you can join us for GivingTuesday:
Share.
Share your story of why you support DCF and NMAD or why American diplomacy is important to you. Share your story by
- Using the hashtag #WhyDiplomacyMatters;
- Tagging the Diplomacy Center Foundation; or
- Direct messaging us with your story. All responses will be collected and shared on December 1!
Or you can use #AskDCF on our social channels to ask us your questions about DCF, NMAD, and the future museum.
Celebrate.
Every hour, join our thank-a-thon on our social channels as we celebrate the individuals who are making it possible for us to share the story of American diplomacy. Without our supporters, we would not be able to share the unique story of American diplomacy and honor the members of our US diplomatic community.
Give.
Now more than ever, your support can make an impact. From teaching students the skills of diplomacy with NMAD’s diplomacy simulation program to supporting the creation of the museum’s permanent exhibits, your support brings American diplomacy to life. Here is how you can support us:
- Become part of our donor family. You can contribute to the Diplomacy Center Foundation in support of the National Museum of American Diplomacy by visiting our donation page. If you are a federal employee or retiree, considering supporting us during the 2020 Combined Federal Campaign.
- Become an artifact donor. Anyone currently or previously working in a diplomatic capacity may have objects that would be a perfect fit for the NMAD collection. Learn more
Thank you for joining us on GivingTuesday! It is through the support of individuals like yourself that together we can make the National Museum of American Diplomacy a reality.
