Getty gettyGovernor Kristi Noem came under attack last week, supposedly for advancing legislation to protect “dark money.” That’s the term used to make anonymous giving to charities sound sinister. But Americans ought to appreciate now, more than ever, why anonymity is so important. Today, some politicians want to destroy freedom of association by outlawing anonymous giving to policy-minded non-profits. Americans are the most charitable people on Earth, together giving away $428 billion in 2018. Americans shouldn’t have to worry about the potential fallout from having their charitable giving exposed.
