Instead, the National Park Foundation — a congressionally chartered nonprofit that raises money for the National Park Service — created a special subsidiary in October 2025 and established it in Delaware. President Trump declared that Freedom 250, organized as a limited liability company, would throw America "the most spectacular birthday party you've ever seen." The National Park Foundation received roughly $90 million in federal dollars to support the celebration, government records show. Freedom 250 separately solicited seven-figure donations from corporate sponsors, documents show, without filing any public financial disclosures of its own. Freedom 250 files no tax return of its own, and money raised in its name legally belongs to the National Park Foundation.
