The National Right to Work Committee is a national grassroots organization dedicated to combating compulsory unionism and protecting workers' choice not to join or financially support labor unions.
A defining feature of The National Right to Work Committee is its steady support for state-based right-to-work organizations through general support grants. The largest recent award in the record is $442,500 to Western States Right to Work Committee Inc for general support, followed by repeated six-figure grants to Conservative Action League and New England Citizens Right to Work Inc. That pattern matches the committee’s stated mission: opposing compulsory unionism and supporting workers’ choice not to join or financially support labor unions. Recent grants show a mix of national advocacy and local affiliate support, with recipients in Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Virginia. The foundation’s work is tied to labor policy, worker rights, legislative advocacy, and public policy education, and the recent grant list shows that it uses general operating support rather than project-specific awards. The combination of large, recurring grants and a network of right-to-work affiliates suggests a funder that backs ongoing organizational capacity as much as one-time initiatives.
In labor-policy work, The National Right to Work Committee gave $366,000 to Conservative Action League for general support in 2025 and $345,000 for the same purpose in 2024. That kind of repeated support points to ongoing advocacy capacity rather than short-term programming. Worker-rights grantmaking appears in the committee’s backing of New England Citizens Right to Work Inc, which received $330,000 in 2025 and $285,000 in 2023 for general support. Legislative advocacy is also reflected in grants to Mid Atlantic Right to Work Committee, including $172,500 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2025. Public policy education fits the committee’s broader mission and is consistent with these general support awards to affiliated organizations working on right-to-work issues.
Typical grants are mid-sized to large: the p25 amount is $57,500, the median is $164,000, and the p75 is $315,000. The recent record shows repeat support to the same recipients across multiple years, including several organizations funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Awards are described as general support, aligning with the committee’s flexible, core-support style. The organization does not make grants to individuals and does not make program-related investments. There is no application process described in the data.
