The Daughters of the American Revolution is a non-profit, non-political volunteer organization of women dedicated to the ideals of America. The group's tri-fold mission is to promote American patriotism, preserve American history and secure America's future through better education for children. The DAR's headquarters on 1776 D Street NW takes up an entire city block in our nation's capital with 3,000 additional chapters recognized across the United States and around the world. Founded October 11, 1890, there have been 950,000 Daughters involved in the sisterhood whose motto has always been "God, Home, Country."
