AFPC is a qualified 501(c)3 non-profit located in Washington, DC, which is largely chaired by conservatives and officials that served in conservative Presidential administrations. Its foreign and defense policy specialists provide information to members of US Congress, the Executive Branch, and the US policymaking community, as well as world leaders outside the US (particularly in the former USSR).

In addition, AFPC publishes strategic reports and other reports monitoring the policy progress of other countries from a conservative standpoint (particularly Russia, China, countries in the Middle East and in Asia).
