As our great nation approaches the momentous 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, the NFRW is proud to launch an inspiring new initiative under President Martha Jenkins' leadership: the America 250 Membership Challenge.
Membership Challenge
This campaign honors the enduring legacy of 1776 while empowering our clubs to grow stronger, engage more deeply, and prepare the next generation of conservative women leaders. Just as our Founding Fathers united with courage and vision to build a free America, we are called to rekindle that patriotic spirit within NFRW—ensuring our Federation thrives for centuries to come.
A Challenge for Every Club
The America 250 Membership Challenge spans both years of President Jenkins’ term, with three progressive achievement levels that clubs can pursue annually. Earn one, two, or all three each year to celebrate your dedication and progress!
Patriot Keepers Guild
Honoring clubs that maintain membership strength, keeping the flame of commitment alive. To achieve this level in 2026, clubs must meet or exceed their 2025 membership count by March 1, 2026. Focus on renewing all of your 2025 members!
Liberty Builders Brigade
Recognizing clubs that actively recruit new members, bringing fresh voices and energy to our cause. To achieve this level in 2026, clubs must increase their 2025 membership count by 10% by July 4, 2026. New clubs chartered in 2026 need 25 members by December 31, 2026.
Signers Circle
Celebrating clubs with exceptional growth, echoing the bold courage of the original signers of the Declaration. To achieve this level in 2026, clubs must increase their 2025 membership count by 25% by July 4, 2026. New clubs chartered in 2026 need 50 members by December 31, 2026. At the pinnacle awaits the prestigious Founders Honor Medal, awarded to clubs that achieve Signers Circle status for two consecutive years. These exemplary clubs embody the consistency, leadership, and unity that have defined both our nation and NFRW since our founding in 1938.
Let's Start Strong in 2026!
