Membership FAQ
Why Join?
You become a part of the only organization in America implementing effective strategies that restore private property rights, individual liberty and local control in America. We don’t mean to be too braggadocios, but we have a stellar track record of nearly 20 years of victories to back this up.
Our proven approach has produced some of the most significant property rights victories in America. Our strategies protect people from a host of issues without going to court or lobbying politicians. No other organization in the nation goes directly to the people to help them protect their way of life.
As one of our members, you have a unique hand in making all of this happen through your support. In fact, none of this would be possible without people just like you supporting us. We invite you to join us.What Does my Contribution Go Toward?
Your contribution makes it possible for us to send our experts directly into communities to train local leaders, develop specific strategies, draft documents, attend meetings, and provide the long-term support necessary to protect local priorities. We provide as much or as little support as each individual community needs until they can implement the strategies on their own. We do not set a community’s policies; rather we help develop the strategies that implement their goals and priorities with the intent of protecting their local economy and their citizens’ property rights.
What do I Receive as Member?
You receive our publication “Standing Ground” that describes the battles and victories we are winning and special updates on the progress your contributions are helping us achieve. You also receive our unique feather quill representing that used by our Founding Fathers to sign their name to the documents that formed this Land of Liberty. By joining at $100 or higher, you will also receive our black leather coaster as a special thank you for joining our cause.
How is American Stewards Funded?
We do not accept any government funding. We rely solely on private contributions from people just like you. Our membership is the power behind all the work we do. Currently, 86% of all contributions go directly to our program services. We maintain an operational expense of 14% or lower, well under the good governance industry standard of 25%.
