National Taxpayers Union Foundation | Posted on December 10, 2007

Founded in 1969, the National Taxpayers Union is the nation's most effective taxpayers' lobby organization, supported by a grassroots membership base of over 350,000 persons. NTU has organized the most extensive network of taxpayers in the country, with members in all fifty states. As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, NTU lobbies Congress and state legislatures, educates the public, politicians, and the media on important taxpayer issues, and provides assistance to members who want to become effective citizen activists at the local level.

Established in 1977, National Taxpayers Union Foundation (NTUF) was founded as a public research and education organization dedicated to collecting data, analyzing information, and informing the public on matters of fiscal and economic policy.

What Associates Do:

* Help keep tabs on how Members of Congress want to spend your tax dollars. The Foundation's legislative spending study, Bill Tally, is informative as well as influential. Both sides of the political aisle reply upon this hard-hitting research.

* Work with NTU's lobbying and communications teams as they advance a pro-taxpayer agenda of lower taxes, limited government, and individual freedom. The Government Affairs Group works on issues that affect taxpayers at the national, state, and local levels; the Communications Group amplifies NTU's and NTUF's message on limited government through the media, in-house publications, paid advertising, and public events.

* Assist with other research projects and educational efforts. Time permitting Associates may pursue suitable research and writing topics that will lead to publishable policy papers, issue briefs, or op-eds.
