Welcome to The [new] Giving Review

Jun 9, 2023

Shoulder to the wheel.

In June 2019, we introduced The Giving Review as an independent part of another website. Now, we’re on our own—and will be even more and probably more aggressively independent, what with our own URL and all.

With our substantial practical philanthropic experience—and hopefully, wisdom—we modestly try to bring a conservative worldview to bear on some of the growing discussion about issues in philanthropy and giving. 

Fully realizing—actually, relishing—the challenges to defining a changing “conservatism,” we think conservatism is grossly underrepresented in both establishment philanthropy and commentary about it. We’re trying to add value to what we think is far too limited a discourse about philanthropy, within components of and across the entire ideological spectrum.

All content, dating back to our first appearance in 2019, will be available here.

If you’re already giving us a try, we hope you keep doing so. If you’re new to us, we hope you give us a try now. We’re The Giving Review.
