The Young Britons' Foundation, abbreviated to YBF, is a British conservative〔〔 not-for-profit training, education and research think-tank, established in July 2003 to "help train tomorrow's centre-right leaders and activists today". It intends to promote young conservatives and "classical liberals". Chief executive Donal Blaney has described YBF as "a Conservative madrasa". 〔 YBF has strong links with the American neoconservative movements,〔 and partnerships with American conservative thinktanks and foundations.〔 YBF was launched in July 2003 at a conference of the Young America's Foundation in Washington, D.C., and it has said that it aims to "import American political techniques into the UK". YBF has declared an intention to expose left-wing bias in Britain's universities.〔 YBF was originally based in Regent Street, London, leading some Conservatives to question its funding. YBF claims its funding comes solely from UK private donations.〔 ==Staff== YBF's Chief Executive is Donal Blaney, a former National Chairman of Conservative Future, and its Chairman is Patrick Nicholls, former Conservative MP for Teignbridge and Government Minister. The current president of YBF is Daniel Hannan, Conservative Member of the European Parliament for South East England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=People: Daniel Hannan )〕 The renowned author and avowed Eurosceptic Frederick Forsyth is a patron of YBF.〔http://www.ybf.org.uk/about/the-ybf-board-of-trustees/〕 As of September 2010, YBF's "advisory board" includes Matthew Elliott, founder of the UK TaxPayers' Alliance, and representatives of the Heritage Foundation (a US conservative thinktank), US Competitive Enterprise Institute and American Conservative Union (a US conservative lobbying organisation). It also includes the founder of the US Leadership Institute, the President of the US Jesse Helms Center, the President of the Young America's Foundation, the co-founder of the US Henry Jackson Society and a former Executive Director of the Collegiate Network.
