ACR @ the 2011 Philanthropy Roundtable Annual Meeting
Event Recap
This week, Consider This is preempted by a recap of the Alliance for Charitable Reform’s presence at the 2011 Philanthropy Roundtable annual meeting.
Themed Can-Do Philanthropy: Solving America’s Greatest Challenges, this year’s annual meeting explored how private independent giving can—and does—solve America’s greatest challenges. In his opening address, Roundtable president Adam Meyerson reminded the audience that despite the achievements of philanthropy there are serious dangers facing charitable giving including economic stagnation, over-regulation of the charitable sector, and an assault on the charitable deduction by the current Administration. These persistent threats make necessary the vigilance and efforts of ACR, the Roundtable’s public policy arm, to preserve the charitable deduction and protect the freedom of donors and foundations.
