Nonprofits and brands are navigating the partisan air of the 250th in search of a unifying tone

Nonprofits and brands are promoting community service and patriotic initiatives for the U.S. 250th anniversary, but face challenges due to political divisions and declining national unity. Competing events like America250 and Freedom 250, the latter led by Trump allies, highlight partisan tensions, while organizations like the Salvation Army report mixed public engagement due to perceived political agendas.
