Overview

Money changes everything, especially in politics. Politicians, think tanks, and political parties would not be where they are without monetary gifts. Yet, when it comes to celebrating donors, the media often praise liberals for their selfless giving and criticize conservatives for their selfish hoarding. But Ron Robinson and Nicole Hoplin, leaders of Young America's Foundation, set the record straight in Funding Fathers: The Unsung Heroes of the Conservative Movement. Part historical account of the conservative movement and part exposé about political philanthropy, Funding Fathers busts the myth that conservatives donate less money than democrats and exposes how the media, liberal organizations, and even conservatives perpetuate this lie.

The list of Regnery authors reads like a "who's who" of conservative thought, action, and history.

What People are Saying About This

Dinesh DSouza

"Funding Fathers reveals the remarkable tale of how a handful of contributions sparked the proliferation of conservative ideas. The success of the Conservative Movement makes this an indispensible guidebook for anyone who seeks to financially advance a cause, whether their gifts are large or small."--(Bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza)

Dr. Lee Edwards

"Here is the authoritative account of conservatism's Golden Donors-the men and women of means and vision whose remarkable largesse has made the Conservative Movement the most important political movement in America."--(Dr. Lee Edwards, Distinguished Fellow in Conservative Thought, The Heritage Foundation)

Jerold Panas

"Ron Robinson and Nicole Hoplin have written the first book of its kind. It is long overdue. It reveals inside information I've never read before of some of the major players of the Conservative Movement. I found the book packed with information-a lot of it never before disclosed. I was at once reminded of how a few individuals and families changed the course of history in this nation-much like our Founding Fathers at this country's birth."--(Jerold Panas, Jerold Panas, Linzy, & Partners, Consultants to Philanthropy)

George Allen

"This unique, insightful book informs us of the many principled "guardian angels" who were the essential wind under the wings of the winning Conservative Movement. The dedication, the courage and character of these patriotic men and women tell the whole story of how many of our shared principles were advanced due to their undaunted, generous leadership. "The future of our Land of Opportunity for all will require similar creative teamwork and unflinching determination to stand strong for Freedom!"--(Virginia governor George Allen)

William T. Sturtevant

"As a fundraiser I have observed that philanthropy usually results from vision and passion. These are wonderful stories about philanthropy in action. That is, people who believe in something and help make their vision become reality through a gift of time and resources."--(William T. Sturtevant, Senior vice president for principal gifts, University of Illinois Foundation)

III Edwin Meese

"This indispensable work is a must-read for donors to the Conservative Movement as well as those considering gifts to our cause. Funding Fathers tells the story of how the Conservative Movement really came to be, but more importantly, provides guidance on how to advance the next generation of conservative ideas, as the new Funding Fathers and Mothers."--(75th U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III)
