Information
Organization's Own Description:
Capital Research Center (CRC) was established in 1984 to promote a better understanding of charity and philanthropy. We support the principles of individual liberty, a free market economy and limited constitutional government: These are the cornerstones of American society. They are the foundation of private enterprise, economic growth and wealth creation. They also make possible wise and generous philanthropic giving.
Unfortunately, many donors reject these principles. Many charities and foundations now urge lawmakers to expand the powers of the welfare state, regulate the economy and limit individual freedoms. Nonprofit “public interest” groups argue that government must solve the problems of the environment, education, healthcare, poverty, consumers and the elderly. They say donors and the nonprofit sector must be advocates for more government action.
Capital Research Center focuses on “the politics of nonprofits.” We investigate the aims and activities of left-liberal special interest groups. We research their sources of funding and profile their donors. We examine how they operate and analyze their impact on our politics and society.
Capital Research Center protects the rights of donors. We inform donors about laws and policies affecting them. We warn donors against bad examples of nonprofit activism and advocacy that increase the size and scope of government and undermine a free society and competitive market economy. We defend donors who understand how wealth is created and how it should be used to help others.
Capital Research Center celebrates charities and donors that provide real help to those in need. We highlight the work of charities, individual donors and foundations that uphold the tradition of voluntary giving and service.Americans need to know more about nonprofit groups and the individuals and foundations that support them. This is the mission of Capital Research Center (CRC).
CRC is an independent, tax-exempt institution governed by an independent board of trustees. We rely on private financial support from the general public—individuals, foundations, and corporations—for our income. We accept no government funds and perform no contract work.
