Philanthropy Roundtable

From dKosopedia

Categories: Republican organizations | Foundations

Conservative grantmaking coalition of 600 conservative foundations and individual donors.

Founded in the early 1980s, when conservative donors left the Council on Foundations to protest the Council's adoption of The Principles and Practices of Effective Grantmaking, a statement intended to encourage its members toward greater public openness and accountability. The Roundtable expresses ironic concern over the "politicization of philanthropy."

Bradley Foundation created and funds the Roundtable.

John P. Walters. Ran the Philanthropy Roundtable until tapped by Republican George W. Bush to be his new Drug Czar (May, 2001).
