Join the Taft Club

The primary purpose of the Robert Taft Club is to discuss ideas that are often ignored or even suppressed. Because we want to expose as many people as possible to these ideas, all of our symposiums and speeches are free and open to the public.

However, we do have expenses, and do not receive any foundation money. We encourage those who come to our events to join the Taft Club. No one receives a salary and we have virtually no overhead, so you will get much more bang for your buck than with most other organizations.

With our shoestring budget, the Taft Club has already made a huge impact. There are dozens of young conservative students or politicos who were exposed to first non-neoconservative conservatism at our meetings, and made a right turn in their political journey.

Taft Club meetings have been featured on NBC Nightly News, and in The Washington Times, Reason, The American Conservative, The American Spectator, and many other publications.

Membership in the club entitles you to discounts and attendance to special events we will periodically put on, and will help us continue to fight in the battle of ideas. Our recommended donations for membership

Student: $10
Young Professional: (under 30): $25
Professional: $50
Supporter: $100
Charter: $500

We appreciate any contributions in any amount, and of course do not feel like these suggestions are ceilings.
