Founded in 1962, the primary mission of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society is to educate people across our country about the Capitol and the people who work in it in a manner that inspires, in the words of our authorizing legislation, “inspired patriotism.”
The Capitol Committee is a group of over 110 Corporations, Associations, and Foundations that support the mission of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society through unrestricted donations. This money provides operational and program support which allows us to continue to fulfill our mission.
Leading companies join the Capitol Committee’s Leadership Council with annual charitable contributions of $25,000 or more. With that assistance, the Society has been able to upgrade its interactive website for students and teachers, support new curriculum initiatives for secondary educational programs, and contribute works of art to the permanent collection of the U.S. Capitol.

“We continue to support the USCHS because we firmly believe in its mission to educate citizens about the U.S. Capitol and the foundation of our government. We value civic engagement, the ability to participate in the democratic process and the commitment to public service. The USCHS gives the best Capitol tours in town with historians who are amazing storytellers and know every nook and cranny of our US Capitol. We regularly encourage our employees to visit and learn about the unique history of our U.S. Capitol.”
Meaghan K Joyce – Director of Political & Advocacy Strategy at International Paper, Capitol Committee Member
“Support for the USCHS is an essential element for any organization serious about its engagement with Congress. USCHS is about promoting the history, values and promise of our Capitol – and the women and men that work there. Our countries may have their “crown jewels” or monuments, but America has an instantly recognizable symbol of its living democracy in that building. Express Scripts and its employees are proud to be part of a greater effort through USCHS to help that light shine forth to all the world to see.”
Rob Lively – Allergan, Capitol Committee Member
