About us
We exist to to lead a generational conversation about fiscal stewardship
Our story
The Millennial Debt Foundation was launched in mid-2019 by Tennessean Weston Wamp and other millennial entrepreneurs to lead a generational conversation about fiscal stewardship, the role of the federal government and America’s deficit spending crisis. Inspired by the work of our early advisor, the late U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D., the Foundation’s first major project was the Millennial Debt Commission. The business-led Commission is made up of 20 millennial business leaders from across the country working towards a framework for long-term deficit reduction and stabilization of the national debt. The business leaders have been advised by a cohort of current and former members of Congress, leading economists and policy experts. MDF is a nonpartisan, Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded by individual donors and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.
Our values
Responsibility
We believe we owe it to those who come after us to leave this nation better than we found it. We see stewardship as a civic call to every American, and we intend to answer it.
Courage
Many approach the challenges we currently face with resignation and despair. We believe the fight for the future of this nation is winnable, and we hope to inspire others to believe the same.
Optimism
We are convinced that America’s best days are ahead of it. We believe that it is possible for a small group of committed citizens to make real change, because it’s the only thing that ever has done so.
