Franklin Can Save Us Again?
When government can’t fund projects …
Ben Franklin helped save the nation during the American Revolution and he just might be able to do it again during the COVID-19 crisis, thanks to a favorite philanthropy tool of his, Program Related Investments (PRIs).
Despite passing in April nearly 230 years ago now, old Ben knew then what many very wealthy households know today. PRIs are extremely powerful funding tools, especially when the government and, or, the private sector cannot directly provide program support for critical projects benefiting large segments of American society.
If you are a wealthy philanthropist or a talented political activist, I have a recommendation below that I hope you will seriously consider.
Ben Everidge
