Four female executives filed a federal suit against the America 250 Foundation in Feb., saying they had no choice but to resign from an organization that paid them less than male employees and ignored them when they raised concerns about business practices.

But after working for the foundation for less than two years, Burchard resigned in December and sued in February, alleging the foundation had done nothing to further its mission, instead corruptly funneling federal funds to its leadership and favored contractors in a toxic, sexist environment.

America’s big birthdays do not come often — even some Gen Xers have no memories of the nation’s bicentennial celebration held in 1976. Thus, for the upcoming bash in 2026, Congress created the “At bottom, the Complaint contains unsupported allegations and speculations regarding Plaintiffs’ collective disagreements on management decisions during their employment,” the filing said.In a telephone interview, DiLella also declined to comment on the lawsuit’s allegations. However, DiLella said, the commission had “no money, no organization, and no appropriation” when he took over in 2018.

Burchard alleged in the suit that she was told to pay $30,000 worth of invoices “for which there were no contracts and no proof that work had been done.” The suit also said she expressed concerns about a “potentially unlawful quid-pro-quo” between America 250 and Facebook’s parent company, Meta, which gave the foundation $10 million in exchange for rights to map national parks with drones “for its own business purposes” — using the “pretense” that the mapping was an America 250 program.
