About the America 250 | CT Commission<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2026, the United States will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the country. The America 250 | CT Commission, administered by CT Humanities, has been tasked with guiding this milestone in the state of Connecticut.<\/p>\n

Governor Ned Lamont established Connecticut\u2019s Semiquincentennial Commission by Executive Order 22-2 on July 2, 2022. Guided by its four themes\u2014Tell Inclusive Stories, Power of Place, For the Common Good, and Doing History\u2014the commission is paving the way for an inclusive commemoration that provides space for all Connecticut residents to consider their relationship with this country.<\/p>\n

About Give 250 Connecticut<\/strong><\/p>\n

The commission seeks to empower organizations and municipalities across Connecticut to plan commemorative programming that meets their own unique needs. Give 250 Connecticut will allow eligible affiliate organizations & municipalities to raise funds for use in their 250th programming. All funds raised through this giving event will support programming around the state. From parades to potlucks, ceremonies to scavenger hunts, essay contests to community art, commemoration of the 250th will be as varied as the cities, towns, communities, and organizations that make up Connecticut.<\/p>\n
