Giving to good causes is key to maintaining America’s free market system, the head of Philanthropy Roundtable says. 

It's not the job of government to meet the needs of all Americans, Elise Westhoff, the organization's president and CEO, says. So “if we have a strong philanthropic sector," Westhoff says, "I think that allows us to really make the argument for why the free market works, and also be able to help people in need.”

Philanthropy Roundtable helps Americans to determine how to give back to their communities and country in a way that will further freedom and promote their values. 

In an age when many on the political left are using philanthropy to promote a woke agenda, it is critical for conservative to invest in organizations and causes that will leave a lasting legacy, Westhoff says. 

Westhoff joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why philanthropy is so important to America’s future.
