Cummins Inc. announced its sponsorship of America250, the national nonpartisan organization established by Congress to lead the nation’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Founded in the United States in 1919, Cummins has helped power American progress for more than a century, delivering reliable and innovative solutions that support essential industries, strengthen communities and move people, goods and economies forward, the company said in a recent release.
Partnering with America250 reflects Cummins’ longstanding belief that national moments of reflection and renewal matter and that business has a role to play in helping shape what comes next.
“America250 is an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been as a nation and to look ahead to the future we are building together,” said Jennifer Rumsey, chair and CEO of Cummins. “For more than 107 years, Cummins has been part of the American story — built on innovation, dependability and resilience. This sponsorship reflects our commitment to contributing to the next chapter of American progress, just as we have throughout our history.”
America250 brings together public- and private-sector partners to engage Americans across the country in honoring the nation’s history while inspiring service, innovation and community engagement. The initiative is designed to create shared experiences that encourage participation and connection nationwide, leading up to the semiquincentennial in 2026.
“Cummins’ legacy of powering essential industries reflects the ingenuity and resilience that have defined our nation for 250 years,” said Rosie Rios, chair of America250. “As we approach this historic milestone, their continued leadership will help inspire Americans to celebrate our progress while advancing the innovation and collaboration that will shape the next 250 years.”
Cummins measures success by shared outcomes. When customers, employees and communities thrive, shareholders succeed. That approach has guided how the company innovates and grows, and it continues to shape Cummins’ engagement in moments that matter to the nation.
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, Cummins said its sponsorship underscores a future-focused commitment: honoring the legacy of American ingenuity while supporting the ideas, technologies and collaborations that will help power the next 250 years.
