As corporate $ pours in to influence policy & as Trump Admin seeks to enact its agenda, why would mission-driven philanthropic institutions step out of advocacy arena for fear of having "undue influence." Don't we need more speech & advocacy, more challenge and debate, not less?

My concern would if we worked to defeat Trump in ways that bolstered the conditions that put him in power, so that the defeat abetted his resurrection in new forms.

Many who do this brave work fighting Trump and depend on rich donors tell me privately how they feel degraded, overruled, and richsplained to by their backers. There must be ways of using that money that don’t replicate the very power dynamics the donors purport to be fighting.
