An epoch-defining essay. Wholeheartedly agree. aaronrenn.com/p/the-new-trus… @aaron_renn
c-span.org/program/public… From the archives, @GivingReview co-editor @WilliamSchambra moderates 2006 Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal panel at @HudsonInstitute on @WarrenBuffett’s then-newly announced major philanthropic partnership with @gatesfoundation …
wsj.com/sports/college… Attorney Jeffrey Kessler, co-lead attorney for athlete plaintiffs in the House case, in @WSJ: “I’m not sympathetic on the expense side. Because most schools are nonprofits, there was no benefit to controlling expenses, as there is with a profit-making company. Athletic departments have been run on the basis of ‘let’s spend all our revenues, because if we don’t it all goes to some other place in the university.’ I think schools have to learn how to responsibly manage their budgets and what they pay for and don’t pay for.”
Do any super PACs ever *not* have a record quarter?
thegivingreview.com/elon-musk-as-t… In @GivingReview, Neil Hrab wonders what @elonmusk will do in wielding such great wealth … “Musk’s future ‘political’ interventions will probably speed up the retirement of parts of” the “legacy think-tank-vs.-think-tank, influencer-vs.-influencer approach,” he writes. “The scale on which Musk thinks,” Hrab concludes, “means those who oppose him—or wish to constrain his influence—will need to upgrade the scale of their thinking, too.”
freebeacon.com/democrats/the-… “The least surprising aspect of the Democratic Party's lurch toward left-wing radicalism is the pampered, privileged backgrounds of the politicians, donors, and operatives leading the charge,” @AndrewStilesUSA writes in @FreeBeacon.
AARP claims to speak for seniors. But who is speaking for AARP? New findings from @chrisjacobsHC show the organization has received billions from UnitedHealth through royalty agreements tied to endorsed insurance plans. In 2024 alone, corporate royalty revenue grew while member dues fell. Read the report: commitmenttoseniors.org/wp-content/upl…
timworstall.substack.com/p/its-the-left… “[I]’s that left which has most of the money in British politics. For these are the sorts of places they get it from and this sort of money always does flow to those lefty-style organisations,” @worstall writes. “It is, after all, worth noting that two freshly minted MPs and junior ministers in this Labour Government were, immediately preceeding their elections, the heads of two of those funded organisations. This isn’t a level playing field.”
It turns out the pro-Gaza movement isn’t so harmless. It pretends to be a voice for the conscience of the masses – in fact, it's organised by a murky network of well-funded groups with dodgy allegiances. This deserves scrutiny, says Limor Simhony Philpott buff.ly/8JWWvez
MacKenzie Scott, Melinda French Gates, and Lauren Sánchez Bezos are rewriting the rules of billionaire giving—one quietly, one strategically, one very publicly fortune.com/2026/07/14/mac…
Eisenhower's twin warnings have merged into a single tax-exempt industry. New on The Exempt Class today. Beware of the “nonprofit” military-industrial complex scottahodge.substack.com/p/beware-of-th…
business.calnonprofits.org/ap/Events/Regi… July 23 webinar: “Leadership Briefings on Reforming Philanthropy: Fixing Philanthropy and the Tax Code”
Some of the guests you see talking Democratic politics on MS NOW are tied to dark money orgs that send hundreds of millions to party groups. A very intentional setup to obscure how Dem professionals make millions. readsludge.com/2026/07/13/the…
texaslawreview.org/the-state-of-c… “With calls for change intensifying, it is important to evaluate existing federal tax exemption laws to understand current requirements for tax-exempt hospitals and assess where changes, stricter enforcement, or both might occur,” Van Tran writes in “The State of Charity Care in the United States: Holding Nonprofit Hospitals Accountable for Their Tax Exemptions” in @TexasLRev. “Congress should do more to ensure that nonprofit hospitals provide community benefits to the extent of their tax benefits,” the article concludes.
