Global Ties U.S. is an official Supporting Partner of America250, the bipartisan organization charged by Congress to lead the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026. Through this partnership, Global Ties U.S. joins a select group of organizations invited to help shape and support the largest commemoration in U.S. history.
Leveraging the nationwide reach of the Global Ties Network—80+ member organizations across the United States that welcome more than 4,000 international exchange program participants to their communities each year—Global Ties U.S. will contribute to several of America250’s tentpole programs:
- America Gives, a national campaign to record the largest number of volunteer hours ever contributed by a country and create a legacy of service (volunteer, public service, military service, and charitable giving) that extends beyond 2026.
- Our American Story, a national effort to build the largest oral and visual history of the United States by collecting, sharing, and preserving the stories of its people.
- America’s Invitation, a global initiative to reflect on the past, present, and future of the United States and what the country means to all touched by it.
