The Capital Club was conceived, founded, and organized as a social club more than thirty years ago, and has evolved into a nationally recognized organization. The Capital Club has faithfully served the Washington community with some of the most well known seasonal events and activities each year. The Club maintains a membership of only one hundred from the greater Washington, D.C. area and beyond. Now hosting several events annually for Members and guests, the Club is committed to its long tradition of support for local and national charities and community causes, most notably the Trey Lefler Memorial Scholarship Fund at the University of the South.

The Capital Club of Washington is a recognized non-profit, 501(c) organization.
