The San Bernardino County Federation of Republican Women is affiliated with the National Federation of Republican Women.
The National Federation of Republican Women is the largest volunteer women’s political organization in the world. The national headquarters is located at Arlington, Virginia. Founded in 1938, the National Federation of Republican Women is a grassroots political organization with thousands of active members in local clubs across the nation and in several U.S. territories, making it one of the largest and most influential women’s political organizations in the country. The organization works to promote the principles, objectives and policies of the Republican Party; elect Republican candidates; inform the public through political education and activity; increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government; and foster loyalty to the Republican Party and promote its candidates in all elections, including non-partisan elections.
In working toward these objectives, the National Federation of Republican Women concentrates its efforts in the areas of educating, communicating, recruiting, campaigning, fundraising, training and legislative action.
Once an auxiliary of the Republican National Committee, the National Federation of Republican Women is financially and organizationally independent today.
