NCRP Statement Regarding the Philanthropy Roundtable's "How Public is Private Philanthropy: Separating Myth from Reality"

We look forward to opportunities to engage with Professor Brody, Mr. Tyler, the Philanthropy Roundtable and others in our sector in continued discussions regarding the rights and responsibilities of foundations.

For decades, there has been a decrease in public confidence in the sector as a result of abuses, lack of transparency, and a seeming unresponsiveness to the needs of the very people that philanthropy is supposed to serve. There are ongoing efforts by some members of the sector to address these shortcomings, but more needs to be done.
