“Ever since its humble beginning, AFF has been the premiere networking and professional development organization for young conservatives and libertarians nationwide.  Your innovative programs offer young professionals unique opportunities they cannot find elsewhere.  AFF provides the crucial next step after students graduate and seek to continue advancing liberty.  I encourage you to support the vital work of America’s Future Foundation.”

Roger Ream, President, The Fund for American Studies

America’s Future Foundation is “a unique Washington institution,” “fun,” and “a key link” for upwardly mobile young liberty-minded professionals.

“Any up-and-coming woman or man wanting to be someone is on their list.”

The Washington Times

“I’ve been privileged to support America’s Future Foundation’s work nationwide through the “AFF on the Road” initiative.  Your chapters in several cities around the country provide an important outlet for liberty-minded young professionals to network and advance their careers.  AFF’s programs allow for great networking but also create unique opportunities for leadership and career advancement.  I encourage all liberty-minded young professionals to join AFF.”

Tracie Sharp, President, State Policy Network

“We were drawn to America’s Future Foundation first by its mission and second by its strategy.  AFF does more than just identify and develop future conservative and libertarian leaders; it provides an environment that encourages debate and challenges the individual to hone the skills they need to achieve civic self-fulfillment and public service.”

S. Dillard Kirby, Executive Director, The FM Kirby Foundation

“I support America’s Future Foundation financially because I believe that it is an investment in people, and that is one of the best investments that can be made. Investing in AFF is literally investing in the infrastructure of the Liberty Movement. My investment in AFF is multiplied many times over as AFFers develop through their career…For these reasons and more, I’d absolutely encourage everybody to support AFF.”

John Barry, Head of Government Affairs, VISA Corporation

“AFF has had a special place in my heart since I was a graduate student at the Georgetown School of Socialist Studies (aka Georgetown Public Policy Institute). I was new to the nation’s capital and felt completely alone philosophically – until I learned about AFF. AFF was my first introduction to libertarian/conservative circles in Washington, DC. I met some amazing free marketers who are still my friends today, and my first movement job at Koch was a direct result of the connections I made through AFF. I’m sure countless others would say the same thing about how AFF positively influenced their lives/careers.”

Claire Kittle, Executive Director, Talent Market

“AFF’s chapters around the country provide essential opportunities for young people to learn the ideas of liberty in a fun atmosphere with their peers. I’ve seen this first-hand in Chicago and know they are making an impact in other cities as well. I invite you to join me in supporting AFF financially because it is so important to invest in the future of our movement and our country.”

John Tillman, CEO, Illinois Policy Institute

“America’s Future Foundation has been a central part of my professional and personal life here — and indeed provides a nice intersection of my personal and professional lives.   I doubt my transition from private practice to Cato would have been as seemless if I hadn’t developed the network that AFF provides.  It’s a wonderful group — and a great entree into the DC policy, politics, and journalism scene.”

Ilya Shapiro, Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, CATO Institute

“When I was a 22-year-old cub writer in Washington, just out of college, I got my first freelance piece published by America’s Future Foundation. From there I became a regular columnist for AFF’s publications, which helped me get the training and exposure I needed to advance my career.  AFF was an invaluable asset in building skills, friendships, and my career.”

Timothy P. Carney, Senior Political Columnist, Washington Examiner

“America’s Future Foundation played a huge role in helping me adjust to the DC policy scene. I met a lot of my best friends at their events, which are a must-attend every month.  I love that AFF is an organization run by people my age, for people my age – this really gave me the confidence that I, too, could someday be a leader in the center-right movement! In addition, AFF helps us refine our policy perspectives – and gives us an opportunity to articulate them.”

Nicole Kurokawa Neily, Senior Fellow, Independent Women’s Forum

“It’s not just who you know, of course. It’s where you’re published. And even the most diligent blogger, tweeter, or facebooker hits a high hurdle when it comes to getting that first real print clip. Doublethink worked much like an Olympic qualifying run — often reaching the same level of professionalism and readability as Washington’s established media outlets, which is where the Doublethink writers I knew soon found themselves. Without AFF and Doublethink, it’s not just difficult to envision how things could have turned out the same way [for my career]. It’s impossible.”
