The American Defense Center is the foreign policy and defense program of the Civic Council, a national nonprofit educational and advocacy organization. The Center conducts independent research vital to the military, intelligence, political, economic and sovereign interests of the United States and disseminates this information to policymakers, the media and the American people with the goal of improving our national security.

We encourage all citizens to be informed about our country’s security interests as well as where our elected officials stand, and to communicate with them regularly on these issues. To increase public awareness and participation in the policy making process, we monitor legislation, publish reports, carry out national petition drives and direct mail campaigns.

As an independent program, the American Defense Center relies on private contributions from many individual donors across the country to fund its work. Because it is part of a 501(c)(4) organization that lobbies on behalf of its supporters, federal income tax deductions are not allowed for gifts to the Center. An executive director, appointed by the Civic Council’s board of directors, administers the Center’s operations and manages its projects.
For more information or offers of support for its projects, please contact the Center at its suburban Maryland headquarters:
