So \u201cif we have a strong philanthropic sector," Westhoff says, "I think that allows us to really make the argument for why the free market works, and also be able to help people in need.\u201d\nPhilanthropy Roundtable helps Americans to determine how to give back to their communities and country in a way that will further freedom and promote their values.\xa0\nIn an age when many on the political left are using philanthropy to promote a woke agenda, it is critical for conservative to invest in organizations and causes that will leave a lasting legacy, Westhoff says.\xa0\nWesthoff joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to explain why philanthropy is so important to America\u2019s future.\xa0\nWe also cover these stories:\xa0\n\nThe New York State Assembly is close to concluding its impeachment investigation into Gov.
