BROOKFIELD, WISCONSIN – December 2, 2025 – A newly launched “America 250 Civics Education Coalition” has added The Grateful Nation Project to its list of over 40 partner organizations. Under the motto Know America. Love America., the coalition is led by America First Policy Institute, with oversight from the U.S. Department of Education and Secretary Linda E. McMahon.
“As America approaches 250 years since its founding, we are proud to announce this coalition to ensure every young American understands the beauty of our nation and is equipped with the civic knowledge required to contribute meaningfully to its future,” said Secretary McMahon. “A country cannot survive if its values are forgotten by its people. More than ever, we need to restore the vitality of the American spirit, and this coalition will take bold steps to educate, inspire, and mobilize youth toward active and informed citizenship.”
The Grateful Nation Project joins other education-focused coalition partners, including Hillsdale College, The Fund for American Studies, National Association of Scholars, PragerU, and Turning Point USA’s education division, among others.
“The Semiquincentennial presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to focus on America’s story, and to recommit to its founding principles,” says Grateful Nation Project president Craig Du Mez. “We’re proud to work with these outstanding coalition partners in the nation’s classrooms—to celebrate America’s history and to inspire civic responsibility.”
