Senator Santorum Requests Philanthropy Roundtable Involvement
in Debate on Charitable Sector Reforms (April
26, 2005)
In a letter (http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/senatefinancecommitteeletter.pdf)
dated March 15, 2005, Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) requested the
involvement of The Philanthropy Roundtable in the discussion of
issues related to the charitable sector including the Interim Report
of the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector, the Finance Committee staff’s
“white paper,” and the Report of the Joint Committee
on Taxation. He indicates in his letter that “time is of the
essence” in providing this input.
The Philanthropy Roundtable and its project the Alliance for Charitable
Reform have been consistently opposed to new legislative measure
that would result in the substantial intrusion of government into
the internal affairs of private organizations. They are further
opposed to a “one size fits all” approach.

Charitable Reform may be found at http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/acr.aspx
