From ping pong to pirates to Benjamin Franklin, there is more to diplomacy than one might expect. As the first and only museum dedicated to American diplomacy, the National Museum of American Diplomacy (NMAD) provides programs and exhibits designed to explore the critical players, practices, and events that have defined our world. Your generosity and support can help NMAD share the untold and complete story of American diplomacy.
As 2021 comes to a close, you may be starting to explore your options for supporting your favorite charities. During this season of giving, we hope you will consider contributing to the Diplomacy Center Foundation (DCF) and our mission to complete NMAD. Your generosity helps us support NMAD education programs, original DCF programming, and the design of permanent NMAD exhibits. Check out our 2021 Charitable Giving Guide to explore which popular giving options are the best fit for you.
Online and Mailed Donations
DCF accepts donations year-round that support the backbone of our organization: our staff, operations, and outreach activities that fulfill our mission to support NMAD and share the history, practice, and challenges of American diplomacy with the public. You can support DCF anytime by donating on our website or via cash, check, and card payments mailed to our office. If donating by mail, please complete and include our Donation Form along with your form of donation payment.

Matching Gifts
Matching gifts from your employer is one opportunity to maximize the impact of your gift to the Diplomacy Center Foundation. Your employer may sponsor a matching gift program that will match, double, or—in some instances—more than double your charitable contribution. Your company’s personnel or human resources office can provide the information needed to obtain a matching corporate gift. To become a matching gift sponsor, please contact us.
Legacy Gifts
Legacy gifts are an inspiring endeavor to memorialize your support for NMAD and ensure that future generations can benefit from your generosity to learn about the history, practice, and challenges of American diplomacy. Legacy gifts offer flexibility to donors and are easy to complete, requiring as little as one sentence to your will or living trust to secure your support. To discuss different will or estate planning options, please contact us.
