The Princeton-Robertson Settlement
American philanthropy won a major victory last week. In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the long-standing right to private association under the First Amendment in the case Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta. As we’ve covered here before, the Philanthropy Roundtable supported the petitioners by filing two amicus briefs. We are happy to report the court found that California’s blanket demand for all charities’ Schedule Bs was unconstitutional – not only as applied to the petitioners, but in general.
In 2022, Arizona voters passed the so-called “Voters’ Right to Know Act,” which compels nonprofits engaged in public policy issues to not only disclose their donors, but their donors’ donors. Philanthropy Roundtable and our coalition partners have strongly opposed Arizona’s new law and what it might foreshadow for donor privacy.
In an op-ed published March 3, 2024 by Richmond Times-Dispatch, Philanthropy Roundtable Director of Policy Research Jack Salmon writes that according to the recently published 50-State Analysis, Virginia is lacking protections for donor intent.
In light of ongoing criticisms of donor-advised funds (DAFs) and their growing popularity as a flexible giving vehicle, Philanthropy Roundtable interviewed one of the authors of a new research report, “The 2024 National Study on Donor-Advised Funds.” The report offers valuable insights into why these criticisms are unfounded. Equally important, the report demonstrates the myriad ways DAFs are used by donors to strategically support charitable causes, democratize giving and improve countless lives.
Seamus Hasson, Bill Mumma, Clint Bolick, Dick Weekley, and others share hard-won knowledge on how donor-funded litigation can improve our country.
The stakes of this case are high and the implications wide-reaching.
While the IRS has historically held confidential the private information of taxpayers, including charitable foundations and individual donors, recent leaks make it all too clear: IRS data is no longer safe from the public eye.
The following article is part of a Philanthropy Roundtable series examining recent calls for additional regulations on charitable giving and the works underpinning these proposals.
Donor privacy is back in the headlines in a big way. Nikki Haley, former South Carolina governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, is filing a lawsuit against New Read more…
In a Letter to the Editor of The Chronicle of Philanthropy entitled “Donor Privacy Is Essential. Stop Asking Lawmakers to Force Disclosure,” Philanthropy Roundtable’s Director of Policy Research Jack Salmon responds to recent proposals by Giving Review Senior Fellow Craig Kennedy that would force nonprofits to name their donors.
Two years after the Supreme Court again upheld the right of donors to give privately, donor privacy remains at risk, as this right continues to be disregarded by attorneys general in states such as New York. As we have written about here before, the New York attorney general’s office has violated First Amendment protections for American givers by posting the 990 Schedule Bs of an unknown number of charitable organizations — exposing their major donors.
