The Mission of the Adams Memorial Foundation
The Adams Memorial Foundation is a national, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization entrusted with advancing a permanent memorial to the Adams family in Washington and inspiring our nation.
The Adamses demonstrated to the world that ideas, with hard work and determination, can change an entire nation for the better. The family members exemplified character, the power of ideas, and a commitment to public service.


Building What America Deserves
The Adams Memorial Foundation is dedicated to commemorating the core values embodied by John Adams, the second U.S. president, and his family. The Foundation’s goal is to build a memorial in our nation’s capital to the Adams family, whose members included John, Abigail, John Quincy, Louisa Catherine, Charles, and Henry.

“Now is the time to reignite their American spirit and foster hope for our future by honoring them.”
