Awards & Recognition
AHEF is one of the nation's leading providers of free K-12 lessons on America's founding documents and principles. Every honor below is real, dated and traceable to the body that granted it.
In 2008 the National Society Sons of the American Revolution presented its Distinguished Patriot Award to AHEF and its president, recognizing the Foundation's work advancing understanding of America's founding documents, history and principles. It remains a defining mark of the Foundation's mission.
Every honor below links to the body behind it, a patriotic society, an awards program or a standards framework. Nothing is inflated to fill space.
