Giving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 90 - Catholics on the RightIn this episode of "What Is the Right," we're turning our attention to the religious dimension at play on the American Right. From the often-talked-about, rarely-understood Evangelical voting bloc to observant Jews and everything in between, it's a confusing landscape. Religious groups add a layer of complexity to the freedom-vs.-order tension we've been exploring in this series as we think about what it means to be conservative or liberal theologically in addition to politically. Indeed, our guests in this first episode are hesitant to apply today's political labels to their own tradition. Joining...2025-07-2242 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 89 - The FusionistsIn the fifth installment of our “What is the Right?” summer series, Peter explores the philosophy of Fusionism. As the name implies, Fusionism melds together different strands of conservatism into a single winning coalition. This is often understood as the three-legged stool of conservatism, bringing together traditionalist conservatives, libertarians, and anti-communists into a coalition that ended the Cold War. But as we will hear, that isn't necessarily the right way to think about it. This episode features two great thinkers in the Fusionist movement, Stephanie Slade and Tim Chapman. Stephanie has established herself as perhaps the foremost thin...2025-07-0848 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 88 - The Traditionalist ConservativesThis episode is the fourth installment in our summer series on "What Is the Right?" here on Giving Ventures. Over the course of the summer months, we are looking at the different factions and flavors of what it means to be on the right side of the ideological spectrum in this unique moment we're in. So far, we've explored the Freedom Conservatives, Libertarians, and the New Right. This episode explores the traditionalist wing of conservatism. At a quick glance, you might describe Traditionalist Conservatives as the social conservatives in the postwar coalition that culminated in the Reaganism...2025-06-2445 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 87 - The New RightFor the third installment in the "What Is the Right?" series, we're featuring the New Right. While the Freedom Conservatives and Libertarians we've spoken with in the last two episodes hold to the importance of free markets, today's guests are skeptical of what they see as too much deference to laissez-faire economics. Over the past decade, the New Right has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in Washington. Challenging the Reaganite consensus and offering a vision for the Right that's more centered on family, community, and nation, the New Right's contrast to our previous episodes provides food...2025-06-1049 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 86 - The LibertariansThis episode is the second installment in the "What Is the Right?" summer series for Giving Ventures. In this series, we're exploring the different factions and flavors that make up the right side of the ideological spectrum here in this weird political moment we live in. Today, we're looking at a group that some say isn't even fairly categorized as "right" at all: libertarians. How do you fairly describe what "libertarian" really means? They are the smallest of the small-government people, the most live-and-let-live of any group. It is the focus on freedom and individual liberty that...2025-05-2750 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 85 - The Freedom ConservativesWhat is "the Right"? Over the next several months, Giving Ventures will be exploring this question through a series of interviews with leaders in the conservative and libertarian space. From the libertarians to the traditionalists, the national conservatives and the New Right—this series will give you a sense of the scope and diversity on the American Right. In this inaugural episode, we're considering Freedom Conservatism. Launched in response to the increasingly popularity of nationalism and populism in conservative quarters, Freedom Conservatism aims to preserve a Reaganite understanding of classical liberalism. To help unpack wh...2025-05-1342 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 84 - The Coolidge and Reagan LegaciesThere was a time in the not-too-distant past where every political candidate looking to tout his or her conservative principles trotted out connections to and affinities for Ronald Reagan. And in a certain subset, those who really wanted to signal they were committed to smaller or more limited government reached even farther back into history, preaching the wisdom of President Calvin Coolidge. So what do their legacies look like today in this interesting political moment we find ourselves in? This episode of Giving Ventures features the leaders of both the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute as well as...2025-04-2243 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 83 - Center for Practical FederalismIn an era where federal overreach seems to be the norm, the concept of federalism stands as a beacon of hope for many seeking a return to localized power and decision-making.

Known for its innovative spirit and sun-soaked coastline, the state grapples with a multitude of policy challenges, from housing costs to environmental regulations. California's decisions often ripple across the nation, influencing policies from coast to coast.

To help address this critical issue, the Philanthropy Roundtable recently compiled a Mental Health Playbook that provides philanthropists with an introduction to the most effective organizations working to solve this crisis while remaining faithful to the principles of liberty, opportunity, and personal responsibility.

And while Giving Ventures has featured some fantastic groups working in the school choice field, this episode is all about improving the public schools that educate 80% of our nation's school children.Giving our kids the best public education possible means engaging on the ground and at the local level, especially in our school boards.

It’s a hotly contested question in American politics that cuts across the left-right divide. Whereas a Reaganite policy view of a strong and robust national defensive capability coupled with American-led diplomacy around the world used to be the norm, leaders on both the left and right can now be found on either side of this issue.This episode explores three groups that go along with John Bolton's view of strong American leadership.

The combination of radicalism and ignorance displayed in campus protests may be a variation on an old theme in higher education, but the fragility and emotional instability of these Gen Z students is notable. And even among their younger peers the effects of pandemic learning loss and years of screen addiction are evident in the aimlessness and prevalence of mental health issues in America’s children.

Among free marketers, “government” can almost sound like a bad word.

Today, we talk with Leah Kral of the Mercatus Center about how donors should consider effectiveness of organizations they support. We also explore how we can go beyond looking at metrics to actually helping inspire groups...2024-07-2333 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 66 - Challenging the New Title IX RulesPerhaps you've followed the controversy about the most recent set of proposed changes to Title IX, the rules that define equality based on sex in education. The changes were originally offered in June of 2022, but it wasn't until April of this year that the final proposed changes came out. Colleges were given until August 1 of this year to comply, so this topic certainly has some urgency to it. Today on Giving Ventures, we're going to dive into those proposals to understand what they are, why so many conservatives (but not just conservatives) take issue with the revisions, and what...2024-07-0241 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesEp. 65 - Defending the 2nd AmendmentWith just 27 words, the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights secures gun rights for millions of Americans—at least in theory. In practice, the text of the Second Amendment has been subject to legal, political, and cultural controversies, and Americans’ gun rights are not always respected.

However, just because the use of DAFs has grown doesn't mean everyone fully grasps the value and power that a fund can offer.

In this episode, we explore the ins-and-outs of donor-advised funds.2024-05-0735 minGiving VenturesGiving VenturesHow to Implement True CharityIn this interview with James Whitford, we explore a better way to do human-services charity. The word "charity" often leads people to think of the human-suffering side of giving, or rather efforts aimed to alleviate human suffering. Think homeless shelters, food banks, church-run thrift stores, and after-school programs in tough neighborhoods. All of these places have a role to play, but are they enough?Many listeners likely agree it's not. On the very first episode of Giving Ventures explored free-market approaches to alleviated poverty.
