Left-wing megadonors are shoveling money into pet projects that don't reflect American values.

All isn't lost, though. You can help turn the tide with a charitable-giving account at DonorsTrust. DonorsTrust is a refuge from the storm of harmful, progressive philanthropy and big-government wheeling and dealing that's hurting our institutions and, more importantly, our loved ones.
