About the ASCF

The American Security Council Foundation is the first public policy

organization in America that has been helping to keep the nation and world safe since 1958 by promoting the principles

of ‘‘Peace through Strength®’’.

Throughout the years, the American Security Council Foundation has had a profound impact on foreign policy

and national security. Our mission is to promote the American cause of peace, freedom, democracy and human rights

at home and abroad. We continually monitor and assess the diplomatic,

economic and military threats to our public safety and keep the public and

policy makers abreast of these issues to ensure the stability of the nation.

The ASCF is a 501 (c) (3) Tax Exempt Organization established in 1958.
