Freedom 250

Freedom 250 LLC, officially the White House Task Force on Celebrating America's 250th Birthday (Task Force 250), is a public–private partnership created on January 29, 2025, by executive order of US president Donald Trump. Its purpose is "to plan, organize, and execute an extraordinary celebration of the 250th Anniversary of American Independence". Freedom 250 serves as the primary branding and funding arm of Task Force 250's execution of Trump's proposals. Members of the task force include the president, vice president, several executive department Secretaries, and the heads of several executive branch agencies. The Task Force is separate from the congressional, non-partisan United States Semiquincentennial Commission, which uses the brand America250, created in 2016. In 2025, federal resources were diverted away from America250 and the Interior Department instructed its staff to make Freedom 250 the "primary branding" for all national events. It has received criticism by Democratic officials and historians for politicization, its fundraising practices, and its programming decisions.
