This week on Givers, Doers, & Thinkers, Jeremy chats with Christie Herrera about the threats facing the American charitable sector and what we might do to protect it.

Christie Herrera is President and CEO of the Philanthropy Roundtable. At the Roundtable, Christie works with her team to foster excellence in philanthropy, protect philanthropic freedom, and help donors advance liberty, opportunity, and personal responsibility. Christie specializes in turning ideas into action by working nationwide with elected officials, nonprofit policy organizations, and coalition partners. She has testified before Congress and legislative committees in 27 states, and her policy work has been profiled in various news outlets, including The New York Times.

What are the best strategies for impactful philanthropy? With higher education in the hot seat over the past six months, Christie highlights the challenges donors face to ensure donor intent and what to do about it. She also tackles the critical issue of donor privacy, noting the regulatory pressures facing nonprofits and the potential social punishment and scrutiny of donors by those who disagree.
