add mention of hiring Venn strategies to lobby on legislation
In an interview with the ''Chronicle of Philanthropy'', the President of the Philanthropy Roundatble, [[Adam Meyerson]], inidcated that education 'reform' was one of the key priorities for the organisation during [[George W. Bush]]'s second ter, "President Bush has the potential to be the most important president in the history of American education -- the president who finally solves our crisis in the education of low-income children. But he cannot achieve this breakthrough simply through the federal No Child Left Behind law, the focus of his first term. Reform of education is going to come primarily from the ground up -- from state and local government, and from philanthropists and social entrepreneurs," he said.[http://philanthropy.com/free/articles/v17/i03/03000701.htm]
''O'Dwyers PR Daily'' reported that lobbying disclosure forms indicated that on February 2005 the Philanthropy Roundtable hired [[Venn Strategies]] "regarding proposed charitable taxation legislation that would affect private foundations' powers and duties, tax exempt status and possible existence".
