The Rely on Your Beliefs Fund (ROYB Fund) is an American Political Action Committee associated with Rep. Roy Blunt. Since its inception, the fund has collected and spent more than $1.8 million.

On May 23, 2002, the ROYB Fund was forced to enter into a consent decree with the Missouri Ethics Commission for failing to comply with Missouri law by not filing a statement of organization and required reports in a timely fashion. [1]
