American Mothers, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that supports mothers through education, events, and formal recognition. It offers podcasts, conferences, and workshops to connect mothers with resources and peer networks. It honors mothers by naming a State Mother of the Year and a National Mother of the Year each year, and it runs a fifth-grade essay contest that invites children to reflect on what their mother means to them. The group promotes the Golden Rule Movement to encourage kindness and partners with other compatible nonprofits in line with its mission. Based in Washington, D.C., the organization traces its origins to 1933 when Eleanor Roosevelt formed a committee within the Golden Rule Foundation, and it maintains consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council to engage on issues affecting women and children worldwide.
