Capital Research Center

Washington, DC 20036

The Capital Research Center is active in the larger effort to encourage both corporate and private foundations to align their philanthropic interests more closely with the market system that made their wealth possible. In its annual Patterns of Corporate Philanthropy, CRC attacks corporate foundations and programs whose giving practices it feels are at odds with business positions. It also seeks to steer donors to "good nonprofits" and targets for critical exposure those [liberal] organizations that "with tax-exempt, tax-deductible--and sometimes tax dollars--mix advocacy and 'direct action' to promote their own vision of the pubic interest." LIke many of the other foundation grantees, CRC publicly states its commitment to "a vigorous and strong private sector, the cornerstones of which are the free-market economy, constitutionally-limited government, individual liberty, and a strong sense of personal responsibility.
