Philanthropy Roundtable's New CEO Vows to Fight for Donor Privacy Amid Political Challenges

Christie Herrera faces threats from both sides of the political spectrum as she aims to uphold the principles of the advocacy organization.

Christie Herrera, the new CEO of Philanthropy Roundtable, plans to fight for the principles the advocacy organization has always prized, including donor privacy.
Herrera recognizes that the battle for these principles is getting tougher and more complicated, with challenges coming from both the left and the right.
The House Ways and Means Committee is looking into the political activities of tax-exempt organizations and considering closing loopholes that allow the use of tax-exempt status to influence American elections.
Legislation in the Senate looks to require donor-advised fund account holders to complete donations within 15 years in order to maintain their income tax deductions.
Some experts argue that Americans trade their right to privacy on their donations when they seek tax deductions for them.
