Membership

Add your voice to a movement that has one

The Republican Hindu Coalition gives Hindu and Indian Americans a single, unified platform in Washington and across the country. Membership is how you help build it, and how the work reaches you first. Choose the level that fits where you are.

Why join

A community this strong deserves a voice this organized

Hindu Americans are among the most educated, most entrepreneurial, and most civically capable communities in the country. What has been missing is not talent or contribution. It is a unified, respected platform that carries the community's priorities to the people who write the laws. Your membership funds the grassroots organizing, coalition building, and advocacy that put Hindu-American priorities on the national agenda. And it plugs you in, to briefings before issues reach Congress, to events with the leaders shaping them, and to a national network of members who share your values. Join once, and the work is yours too.

Open membership

How the ladder works

You are buying access, not swag

Every tier adds to the one below, built on access and recognition, not merchandise. At the entry levels, you get informed: the newsletter, the alerts, the briefings that reach members before an issue hits the floor. In the middle, you get connected: local events, leadership calls, priority seats at the gala. At the top, you get the room: named-council listings, gala seating, and direct time with the leaders and candidates RHC works with.

Already a member? If you have contributed at least $101 to RHC in the last seven years, you are already a General Member. Contributed $1,001 or more? You are already in the Member Leadership Council. To renew or step up, register and give at your new tier.

Membership questions

Honest answers on cost and access

What does RHC membership actually get me?

Access and a voice. Every tier includes the newsletter, policy alerts, and members-only briefings on Hindu-American issues before Congress. From General Member ($101) up, you also get event invitations, leadership calls, and priority registration for the annual gala. Higher tiers add named-council recognition, reserved gala seating, and direct time with RHC staff and the officials the coalition works with.

How much does it cost to join?

Membership runs from $11 a year at the Basic level to $25,001 a year at the Vice Chairman’s Circle. The $101 General Member tier is the anchor, and where most members start. Above it sit Supporter ($501), Member Leadership Council ($1,001), Vice President’s Circle ($5,001), and President’s Circle ($10,001). Three invitation-only circles, Chairman’s, Founding Member, and Trustee, sit above the published ladder. Every amount ends in “1,” the auspicious shagun number.

Can I pay monthly instead of all at once?

Yes. Every tier has a monthly option at roughly a tenth of the annual price. General Member is $101 a year or $11 a month. Monthly members keep the same full benefits as annual members, and it is the easiest way to support the work steadily across the year.

Is my membership contribution tax-deductible?

No. The Republican Hindu Coalition is organized under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, so contributions are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. That status is what lets RHC advocate directly on legislation and elections on the community's behalf.

I gave to RHC a few years ago. Am I already a member?

Likely yes. If you have contributed at least $101 within the last seven years, you are already a General Member. If you have given $1,001 or more, you are in the Member Leadership Council. To renew or move up a tier, just register and give at the level you want.

How is RHC different from other Hindu-American groups?

RHC is a Republican-aligned political coalition, built to give Hindu and Indian Americans an organized, respected voice inside the party and in Washington. It was inspired by the Republican Jewish Coalition and stands on four principles: free enterprise with limited government, fiscal discipline, strong families, and a firm foreign policy. Where cultural and charitable groups celebrate the community, RHC organizes it politically.

When do I start receiving member benefits?

Right away. The moment you join, you are added to the newsletter and briefing list, and your welcome kit and membership card are on the way. Event invitations follow the calendar as gatherings are scheduled, and members always hear first.
