From travel to trade, American diplomacy has built bridges from the United States to others around the world. Your donation during the 2021 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC #30585) will help the National Museum of American Diplomacy (NMAD) tell the story of those who foster a global community and open the door to a safer, more prosperous, and culturally rich world.
The Diplomacy Center Foundation is the nonprofit partner for NMAD—the first museum dedicated to exploring the value and power of our nation’s diplomatic relations and to showcasing the strength, dedication, and ingenuity of our diplomatic community. While federal appropriations provide NMAD’s operating budget, private donations like yours allow for the development, fabrication, and installation of permanent exhibits and programs.
The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), overseen by the Office of Personnel Management, is one of the world’s largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaigns, with 36 CFC zones throughout the country and overseas raising millions of dollars each year. With more than $8.5 billion raised since 1961, the 2021 campaign commemorates 60 years of giving by the federal community. Each fall, federal civilian, military, and postal employees and retirees pledge funds and volunteer hours to help those in need locally, across the nation, and throughout the world. If you are not a federal employee and wish to support our campaign to complete NMAD, we accept donations anytime on our website.
