Craig Kennedy, the former president of the Joyce Foundation and the German Marshall Fund, and William Schambra, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute who previously held positions at the American Enterprise Institute and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, recently wrote an op-ed in the Chronicle of Philanthropy entitled, “Conservatives Should Applaud — Not Fight — Efforts to Change Philanthropic Giving Rules.”
In this op-ed, they argue that the common-sense charitable giving reforms proposed by the Initiative to Accelerate Charitable Giving are “the first step toward retooling a philanthropic world that has become too politicized and self-interested.” The op-ed also outlines why they, as veterans of conservative and centrist philanthropy, believe criticism of IACG’s proposals is “wrong-headed and shortsighted.”
