ABOUT TF250

A National Moment. A Role for Business.

Together for 250 is a nonpartisan, business-led campaign that invites companies to help mark America’s 250th anniversary with purpose, leadership, and connection.

Participation begins by signing a simple pledge and continues at whatever level makes sense for your company.

Led by Business for America (BFA), Together for 250 brings together companies that want to lift up the American story and demonstrate leadership during a milestone year—by engaging employees, supporting communities, and contributing to a more connected national moment.

Signing the pledge signals that your company is choosing to lead—to publicly recognize this milestone and to be part of a broader business effort focused on trust, connection, and shared purpose.

By joining, companies receive:

  • National recognition as part of the Together for 250 campaign
  • Ready-to-use tools and ideas for employee engagement, communications, and local activation
  • Opportunities to connect with other business leaders navigating similar questions
  • Flexible participation — companies decide how much or how little to do
  • Early opportunities to collaborate on special moments and activations throughout 2026

What Participation Looks Like

There is no single “right” way to participate. Some companies will start small. Others will do more. All of it counts.

Participation may include engaging employees around shared values, supporting community connection, or using your company’s voice to contribute to a constructive, forward-looking story about America’s next chapter.

Together for 250 is designed to meet companies where they are—and help them lead in ways that feel authentic and constructive.

For Companies Already Doing the Work

If your company is already investing in community engagement, civic participation, or constructive dialogue, Together for 250 provides a way to bring that work into a larger national story.

By joining, companies can elevate what they’re already doing, connect it to a national moment, and help shape a broader business-led effort focused on trust, connection, and shared purpose.
