Don’t Give Your Money to the Left!
   - A Guide to Charitable Giving for the Political Right (a work-in-progress)
April 2021


The Left’s long march through the institutions took it through the philanthropic sector.  Sadly, most charitable institutions lean left.  That said, there are still places where people on the political Right can feel good about placing their charitable dollars. 

Potomac Tea Party endeavors to identify the best of these on the national level.  We started with poverty alleviation, animals & wildlife, and disaster relief.

We filtered for:
1. No government funding above 5% of total budget
2. No obvious leftist leanings from a scan of the organization’s website
3. Must earn at least a three star rating (four is highest) from Charity Navigator for financial health and transparency

Our results are set forth below.

Club

NOTE: Although we are listing national organizations, we recommend starting at the state and local levels. During Hurricane Katrina, lots of conservative websites strongly urged donations to local groups rather than the national ones. Many provided links to such organizations. Local groups are less “corporate” (more nimble) and have a better understanding of real needs. Yes, most organizations found at the state and local level are on the Left. (Remember, the Left owns the charitable sector.)  But most of the right-leaning ones are to be found there. Virtually all national groups are on the Left and virtually all those on the Right are at the local/regional levels.
