My Philanthropy Roundtable colleague Joanne Florino contributed an excellent article to The Giving Review’s online symposium on conservatism and philanthropy. Like Joanne, I’m concerned about how new mandates and regulations would impact philanthropic organizations of all sizes.

The solutions that come from philanthropy are often far better than anything government could design. Thank you to NR Institute for having me at this year’s excellent #NRISummit to discuss philanthropy as a source of America’s strength with Peter J Travers.

I’m standing with other philanthropic leaders to defend pluralism. We need viewpoint diversity and respectful debate within philanthropy so that the best ideas can be leveraged to solve our most pressing problems. philanthropy.com/article/we-dis… #freedomtogive

All Americans should have the #FreedomToGive to the causes they believe in. But often, foundations and donors are pressured to support a narrow set of views.

Pacific Legal Foundation does excellent work defending constitutional rights and has 15 #SCOTUS victories to prove it. This case is a great reminder of the importance of nonprofit, public interest law firms and their work to protect individuals from government overreach.

All Americans should have the freedom to give how, when and where they choose. Philanthropy Roundtable will always fight to protect philanthropic freedom because it leads to more generosity that improves people’s lives. Learn more at FreeToGive.org.
