OUR MISSION
Since 1958, the American Security Council Foundation's (ASCF) mission has been to protect American freedoms and values by fighting against Communism in the United States. Today, the ASCF mission continues to raise public awareness of national security concerns and implement a bipartisan strategy based on the principles of "Peace through Strength."
Educating our children on America's Founders and Founding documents is a matter of national security. Our American History Live program is a unique, interactive, real-time program for our future generation (K-12). It promotes civic participation and an appreciation of our nation's founding.
ASCF is an educational non-partisan, non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization. We rely on fundraisers, sponsorships, grants, and donations to keep our programs running.
