Council for National Policy


About Us

The Council for National Policy (CNP) is a tax-deductible, nonpartisan, educational foundation organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Its 400 plus members include the nation's premier conservative leaders in government, business, academia, media, religion, and politics.

 Members gather together three times each year to:

  • Strengthen business and personal relationships
  • Meet with forward-thinking experts on conservative, market-based solutions to national and global problems
  • Collaborate on how to achieve shared goals

 Many of the most successful ideas and actions in American government, politics, and culture arise first in CNP. 

 Through CNP’s website (www.cfnp.org), members enjoy access to current information on upcoming meetings as well as archives from past events. The website also serves as a home for Policy Counsel, CNP’s online journal of speaker presentations. This resource features the best and brightest minds on economics, defense and foreign policy, and social issues and seeks to educate the American public on the most critical issues facing the nation.
