Become a Founding Ambassador
American foreign policy is entering a defining period.
Across the country, Americans are questioning decades of failed assumptions about the Middle East. New voices are emerging. New coalitions are taking shape. And for the first time in a generation, there is a real opportunity to build lasting political power around a more principled vision of American foreign policy.
The opportunity is here. It’s up to us to build the institutions capable of meeting it.
Founding Ambassadors make that possible. Through an annual commitment of $25,000, they are providing the early investment needed to build the advocacy, leadership, and political infrastructure that will shape American engagement in the Middle East for years to come.
Why ACMER?
The opportunity before us is bigger than any one election, campaign, or news cycle. It requires an organization with the capacity to build leaders, shape public debate, engage policymakers, and translate growing public support into lasting political influence.
That’s the work ACMER is already doing.
Every day, we work together with policymakers, advocates, community leaders, and changemakers to advance a more principled American foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa. We invest in emerging leaders, strengthen advocacy, and create new opportunities for our community to shape the decisions made in Washington.
The Founding Ambassadors program is the next step in that work. It provides the long-term investment needed to expand our impact, strengthen our capacity, and ensure this movement has the institutions it needs not only to meet this moment, but to shape what comes next.

Moments like this do not come often.

Become a Founding Ambassador and help ensure this movement has the leadership, advocacy, and staying power to shape American foreign policy for years to come.
