The Society of the Cincinnati

The Society of the Cincinnati is the nation’s oldest patriotic organization, founded in 1783 by officers of the Continental Army who served together in the American Revolution. Its mission is to promote knowledge and appreciation of the achievement of American independence and to foster fellowship among its members. Now a nonprofit educational organization devoted to the principles and ideals of its founders, the modern Society maintains its headquarters, library, and museum at Anderson House in Washington, D.C.

The American Revolution secured our national independence, established our republic, created our national identity, and articulated ideals of liberty, equality, and civic responsibility that continue to shape our nation and inspire the world. The Society of the Cincinnati was founded to perpetuate the memory and enduring principles of that vast event. To fulfill that historic responsibility, the Society created the American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati

The Society of the Cincinnati has over 4,400 members residing in the United States, France, and more than twenty-five other countries. The youngest hereditary members are in their twenties. The oldest are over one hundred. A few members—great-great grandsons of their propositi—are only four generations removed from the officers of the Revolutionary War. Some of the youngest members—great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandsons of their propositi—are nine generations removed. Some are direct descendants in an unbroken male line of members reaching back to the founding of the Society. Many more have joined since the mid-nineteenth century, when a change in membership rules allowed for the representation of otherwise qualified Continental officers who, for whatever reason, never joined the Society.

The Moore Family Trust Foundation, under the leadership of our Chairman, Randal G. Moore, has long held a profound commitment to the families who call the remote villages of the Himalayan Mountains home. Guided by the belief that opportunity, education, and access to essential healthcare should never be limited by geography, the Foundation is honored to support initiatives that strengthen these resilient communities

Our ongoing commitment provides funding for four early childhood preschool programs and three primary education programs serving students from the first through sixth grades, ensuring that children receive a strong educational foundation during their most formative years.

Beyond education, the Foundation supports two fully staffed medical centers that deliver comprehensive healthcare services to residents who would otherwise face significant barriers to medical treatment. These centers provide both routine and urgent care while promoting long-term community health

Recognizing that education and healthcare are inseparable from proper nourishment, the Foundation also invests in nutrition and wellness initiatives that promote healthy childhood development, preventative care, and improved quality of life for families throughout the region.

Through these enduring partnerships, the Moore Family Trust Foundation remains steadfast in its mission to foster dignity, hope, and opportunity—building stronger communities while helping to ensure that future generations have the resources necessary to thrive

Invest in Girls (IIG) is a signature financial literacy and career exploration program run by the Council for Economic Education (CEE). 

Originally founded in Boston in 2010, the organization merged with the CEE in 2019 to rapidly scale its footprint across the United States.
