Capital Research Center (CRC) was established in 1984 to champion the American traditions of charity, philanthropy and civil society, and to analyze threats to those traditions within the nonprofit sector.
Today thousands of political advocacy organizations promote government entitlement programs in areas once considered the domain of families, charities, neighborhood associations, and the private sector. Many individual donors and grantmaking foundations also support government solutions in place of free enterprise, voluntary action and community-based problem solving.
The CRC mission is to conduct research and to analyze the leaders, activities and funding sources of nonprofits that promote the growth of government. We also identify private and charitable alternatives to government mandates and entitlements. CRC's mission informs our activities and publications.
