About Us

Empowering Free Markets, Protecting Taxpayers.

Americans for Free Markets (AFFM) is a coalition of business-minded organizations united by a shared commitment to promoting free market principles, protecting taxpayers’ interests, and fostering economic prosperity. As a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, AFFM brings together a diverse array of businesses and community groups dedicated to advancing our mission: To raise awareness on issues impacting taxpayers and communities and to inject substance into policy debates too often overtaken by politics.

Our Principles

America’s financial system has long been the envy of the world, with institutions of all sizes competing to deliver the products and services clients and communities need to thrive, from supporting small business growth to financing critical infrastructure projects such as building new roads, bridges, airports, or schools.

Americans for Free Markets (AFFM) is a coalition of business and community groups in support of free markets and economic growth. AFFM recognizes that a strong banking and financial system, free from governmental interference and political motives, is the backbone of a robust free market and a prosperous, thriving economy; critical to our national security; and instrumental in advancing American competitiveness around the world.

As such, AFFM advocates for policies that empower businesses to make decisions in the best interests of their customers and shareholders without fear of government micromanagement or retribution, and opposes policies that restrict competition, increase costs, and weaponize government against business to score political points, all to the detriment of taxpayers and consumers.

Our Coalition

At AFFM, we stand as a unified voice against government overreach and interference that hinders the prosperity and economic freedom of all Americans. Check out our growing list of partners:
