This week’s Leadership newsletter examines the relationship between philanthropy and democracy—and how the powerful strategically undermine it. First, we explore how tax incentives for charitable donations serve the interests of America’s wealthiest, not necessarily the causes they claim to support (nor most Americans’ charitable efforts). Our next feature exposes how a 2021 “foreign agent” law imposed by El Salvador’s far-right authoritarian regime undermines human rights efforts. We then take a close look at how Congress is currently trying to democratize philanthropy. Our last article proposes that children’s rights practices currently operate through the “tools of the powerful,” shaped by and dependent upon those who already hold cultural, political, and legal power—and how we can change that.
