National Leadership Council
Ensuring that the promise of the American Revolution endures
The National Leadership Council is an esteemed circle of leaders from across the United States who contribute $50,000 or more annually and serve as champions for the Museum. National Leadership Council members are connected by the inspiration they draw from our nation’s founding ideals of liberty, equality, and self-government, and their shared commitment to seeing those principles passed on to a rising generation.
Our Vision for the Future
As the Museum of the American Revolution approaches its tenth anniversary in 2027, it enters a defining new chapter. In less than a decade, the Museum has established itself as a trusted national institution, known for telling thoughtful and inclusive stories about the people and events that gave rise to the United States. Building on this strong foundation, the Museum is poised to extend its reach, deepen its scholarship, and engage audiences across the country in new and lasting ways.
The National Leadership Council plays a central role in this next phase. Its members serve as partners in strengthening the Museum’s role as a place where history is explored with accuracy and care. Through your leadership, the Museum can invest confidently in its future, bringing fresh ideas, programs, and experiences to communities beyond our walls.
As a member of the National Leadership Council, you help ensure that this work advances with strength and purpose. Your support provides the momentum needed to carry the Museum forward, elevate its national presence, and keep the voices of the Revolutionary generation alive as part of America’s ongoing story.
