A Time for Honor: The Campaign for the National Museum of American Diplomacy
The National Museum of American Diplomacy is an initiative of profound historic and civic importance for our country.
Donate NowOnline donations are through the Diplomacy Center Foundation, our private sector partner.
The National Museum of American Diplomacy will be the place where people of all ages and from all nations can experience the successes, challenges, and importance of diplomacy. It will be where they can learn about the determination and courage, as well as the service and sacrifice, of American diplomatic personnel and their families over the past 230 years. Now, for the first time, there will be a place for those stories to be honored.
We are grateful to our donors who have given so generously to complete Phase I of our capital campaign. The National Museum of American Diplomacy and the Diplomacy Center Foundation, are now focused on Phase II of the campaign to raise an additional $35 million to complete exhibit design, fabrication, and installation for the Museum.
Active financial participation of individuals, foundations, and corporations are essential to fulfilling the vision of the Museum. Your support, no matter how large or small, helps illuminate the power of diplomacy and the benefits of international cooperation.
Exhibitions will be displayed in four halls with over 40,000 square feet of innovative exhibits and interactives to engage visitors.
The story is more than fascinating; it’s fundamental to America’s current standing in the world. And now we can make it more familiar to our own people as well.
Madeleine K. Albright, 64th U.S. Secretary of State

A Public-Private Partnership
The support needed to make the National Museum of American Diplomacy a reality requires a public-private partnership. Federal appropriations provide the foundation of NMAD’s operating budget, and private sector donations allow the development, fabrication, and installation of exhibitions. The U.S. Department of State and the Diplomacy Center Foundation are partners in this endeavor, each responsible for pieces of the whole.
