RECIPIENT GRANTS
Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation
Washington, DC
[Editor's note: The CSE has now merged with Empower America to form a new organization called FreedomWorks (read the MT story about the merger here)].
Though perhaps less known to many, another major foundation grantee, Citizens for a Sound Economy, is no less active as a policy actor in Washington and in many states. Founded in 1984, it openly and aggressively advocates market-based solutions to the nation's economic and social problems. [Formerly] Chaired by C. Boyden Gray [current Chair, 2004: Dick Armey], former counsel to President Bush, CSE's self-described mission is "to fight for less government, lower taxes, and less regulation." It has been heavily supported for its efforts, receiving $3.8 million over the 1992-1994 study period. Following the 1994 Congressional elections, CSE's budget expanded dramatically. The organization reported spending just under $17 million to advance its policy objectives in 1995.38 What that money has bought is impressive. CSE is an IRS 501(c)(3).[more]
