Organization Name

National Archives Foundation

The organization name is always capitalized and never in italics or underlined. In formal communications and marketing, the name always appears and is pronounced together as one, “National Archives Foundation.”

Mission

The purpose of the Foundation is to educate, enrich, and inspire a deeper appreciation of our country’s heritage through the collected evidence of its history.

The Foundation’s goal is to assist the National Archives and Records Administration in presenting historical records that point to the meaning of the records and accomplishments of previous generations. Through creative efforts, the Foundation establishes the significance of these records as proof that individual citizenship not only matters but is vital to our lives.

In this public/private partnership, the role of the Foundation is to generate financial and creative support from individuals and corporations to provide this extensive outreach, which Congress has not mandated.
