From the [http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org Philanthropy Roundtable] website:'''Grants Distributed'''*Christo Rey San Jose Jesuit High School:"The Philanthropy Roundtable is a national association of more than 600 conservative individual donors$200, corporate giving representatives, foundation staff and trustees, and trust and estate officers. Its Associates include donors who are involved in philanthropy on a professional basis, as well as individual donors for whom giving is a serious avocation.000:"The Roundtable is founded on the principle that voluntary private action offers the best means of addressing many of society's needs, and that a vibrant private sector is critical to generating the wealth that makes philanthropy possible. Its work is motivated by the belief that philanthropy is most likely to succeed when it focuses not on grand social designs, but on individual achievement, and where it rewards not dependence, but personal initiative, self-reliance, and private enterprise - in other words, they have very explicit ties to groups like The [[American Enterprise Institute]] (board member Kimberly Dennis) and the *[[Council on Foreign RelationsTalent Market]] (Vice Chairman Heather Richardson Higgins). They even have a board member who co-authored a book with [[William J. Bennett]], the former Education Secretary under Reagan and Bush.:"The Roundtable attracts independent-minded donors who understand that philanthropy is difficult to do well. In addition to offering expert advice and counsel, the Roundtable puts donors in touch with conservatives who share similar concerns and interests. Roundtable Associates thereby gain access to the full range of ideas and approaches to giving and information on what works and what doesn't.:"The Roundtable is strongly committed to donor intent, and to helping conservatives ensure that their intentions will be adhered to in the long-term administration of their foundations and trusts. As an organization dedicated to serving donors' needs$25, the Roundtable represents a unique resource for those who want to make the most of their giving."000

It also is outspoken in its opposition to transparency. "The Philanthropy Foundation fights what it considers the increasingly growing public view that foundations should be accountable to the public.

According to the Institute for Policy Studies, "The '''<big>2017</big>'''<ref>Philanthropy Roundtable arose as part of a strategy to build a rightwing funding base to contest the power of the "liberal establishment." The organization was initially financed by the Institute for Education Affairs, founded in 1978 by Irving Kristol and former U.S. Treasury Secretary and Olin Foundation president William Simon, two key figures in shaping the strategies of corporate and rightwing philanthropy. Under their direction, the IEA aimed to funnel millions of dollars into the "war of ideas" with what they called the "adversary culture"—meaning liberals, progressives, and secularists. <ref> [httphttps://www.rightwebbeta.irc-onlinedocumentcloud.org/profiledocuments/Philanthropy_Roundtable Institute For Policy Studies 20428978-philanthropyy-roundtable-2017-990 2017 IRS 990 Form], ''Philanthropy Roundtable Profile]'', May 1, accessed 10/20/2011 2018.</ref>:*Total Revenue: $8,819,058*Total Expenses: $8,917,853*Net Assets: $11,588,105

===Lack of Transparency===
The Roundtable is outspoken in its opposition to transparency. In 2013, Roundtable president Adam Meyerson wrote that the "right to confidentiality in charitable giving is grounded in our constitutional freedom of association, and it is one of the most important elements of philanthropic freedom." Responding to critics of the fund's lack of transparency, he claimed that "a sizable minority [of donors] want their philanthropy to be anonymous and will not give unless they can keep their donations confidential," and concluded with the statement, "So-called “dark money” illuminates our free society."<ref>Adam Meyerson, "[http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/topic/philanthropic_freedom/presidents_note President's Note: Misconceptions about 'Dark Money']," ''Philanthropy'', Fall 2013.

==Ties to the Bradley Foundation==
The Bradley Foundation has been a strong supporter of the Philanthropy Roundtable. Between 1991 and 2015, Bradley documents on a 2016 Philanthropy Roundtable Grant History form that it has given the organization $4,837,500.<ref>Bradley Foundation, [Philanthropy Roundtable Grant History], ''Bradley Files'', 2016.</ref>
A background document from the [https://www.exposedbycmd.org/bradley-files/ Bradley Files] provides insight into the history of the Philanthropy Roundtable and its activities,
:"The Roundtable began in the late 1970s under the auspices of the Institute for Educational affairs as an informal network of grant makers focused on promoting private, voluntary approaches to improve the lives of individual citizens in their respective communities, and, thereby, in the nation as a whole. Over time the Roundtable evolved into a nationwide network of donors supporting annually conferences and publications which became a free-standing organization with an independent board and staff. In this organizational arrangement the Roundtable aims to assist philanthropists in learning about effective giving strategies."
:"The Roundtable's total expenses in 2015 were $8,415,471. Of that amount 87% is allocated for program expenses, 8% for administration and 5% for fundraising. The Philanthropy Roundtable ended 2015 with 635 contributing members, with 68 of these individuals and organizations contributing $25,000 or more. A total of 28 donors made a contribution of at least $100,000 in 2015. The list of prominent donors include amongst others the Anschutz, Arnold, Gates, Kauffman, Maclellan, Marcus, Milbank, Murdock, Randolph, Seattle, Spencer, and Templeton Foundations."<ref>Bradley Foundation, [Philanthropy Roundtable Grant Proposal Record], ''Bradley Files'', June 14, 2016.</ref>

The award gives $250,000 to a charity of the prize recipient's choice and is intended to "honor living philanthropists who have shown exemplary leadership through their own charitable giving, either directly or through foundations they have created."<ref name="KochSimon"/> Koch chose to direct the $250,000 prize to the [[Institute for Humane Studies]].<ref>Philanthropy Roundtable, [http://207.153.189.83/EINS/132943020/132943020_2011_088991a6.PDF 2011 IRS Form 990], organizational annual IRS filing, April 27, 2012.</ref> In its explanation for why Koch was the recipient, the Roundtable stated, "For more than 40 years, he has been at the forefront of strategic investment in ideas, think tanks, and academic research."<ref name="KochSimon">Philanthropy Roundtable, [http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/topic/excellence_in_philanthropy/2011_william_e_simon_prize_for_philanthropic_leadership The Philanthropy Roundtable announces Charles G.

Koch has a long history of involvement at the Roundtable's annual meetings. He was a presenter at the 2011 annual Philanthropy Roundtable conference.<ref>Philanthropy Roundtable, [http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/topic/events/2011_annual_meeting_agenda 2011 Annual Meeting Agenda], organizational website, accessed October 20, 2011.</ref> A 1997 report by the National Committee on Responsive Philanthropy documented the participation of the Koch Brothers in the 1995 conference:
:"In a presentation at the Philanthropy Roundtable's 1995 annual conference, [[Richard Fink]], president of the [[Koch family foundations|Charles G. Koch and Claude R. Lambe charitable foundations]], made good use of market metaphors to outline how foundations can exert the greatest impact on public policy. Adapting laissez-faire economist Friedrich Hayek's model of the production process to social change grant-making, Fink argued that the translation of ideas into action requires the development of intellectual raw materials, their conversion into specific policy products, and the marketing and distribution of these products to citizen-consumers.
:"Grantmakers, Fink argued, would do well to invest in change along the entire production continuum, funding scholars and university programs where the intellectual framework for social transformation is developed, think tanks where scholarly ideas get translated into specific policy proposals, and implementation groups to bring these proposals into the political marketplace and eventually to consumers."<ref>National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, [http://www.ncrp.org/index.php?option=com_ixxocart&Itemid=41&p=product&id=7&parent=3 Moving a Public Policy Agenda: the Strategic Philanthropy of Conservative Foundations], organizational report, July 1997, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120310131911/http://old.mediatransparency.org/pdaconservativephilanthropy.php quoted here].</ref>
The Koch brothers also fund [[DonorsTrust]] and [[Donors Capital Fund]], which the Philanthropy Roundtable spun off in 1999. The obscure [[Knowledge and Progress Fund]], controlled by [[Charles G. Koch]], with [[Richard Fink]] as president, has given only to Donors since 2005.<ref name="mashey">John Mashey, [http://www.desmogblog.com/sites/beta.desmogblog.com/files/fake2.pdf Fake science, fakexperts, funny finances, free of tax 2], ''DeSmog Blog'' report, updated October 23, 2012, p. 71.</ref><ref name="PRW">Connor Gibson, Greenpeace, [https://www.prwatch.org/news/2012/10/11819/meet-network-hiding-koch-money-donors-trust-and-donors-capital-fund Meet the Network Hiding the Koch Money: "Donors Trust" and "Donors Capital Fund"], ''PRWatch.org'', originally published by Greenpeace, October 29, 2012.</ref>

==Ties =Links to Neoconservatives=== According to the [[Institute for Policy Studies]], the Roundtable has well-established links to prominent neoconservatives: "Philanthropy Roundtable directors have included Leslie Lenkwosky and John Waters, both of whom served in the George W. Bush administration, as well as Kim Dennis, now executive director of the [[Searle Freedom Trust]]. Adam Meyerson, a former vice president of the Heritage Foundation, has been the director since 2001. Meyerson is co-editor of the Wall Street Journal on Management, former editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal, former managing editor of the American Spectator, and the spouse of Nina Shea, the director of the Center for Religious Freedom at Hudson Institute and a long-standing neoconservative activist." <ref> [http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Philanthropy_Roundtable Institute For Policy Studies Philanthropy Roundtable Profile], accessed 10/20/2011 </ref> ==Funding==Philanthropy Roundtable is not required by law to disclose its donors.
