Ep. 116 - Do Politicians Even Listen to Think Tanks?

Episode length: 50m

Subscribe to Giving VenturesSubscribe

Nonprofit think tanks conduct research, prepare policy reports, and hold briefings for lawmakers. But does anyone in the halls of power really care? This question guides today's conversation with Scott Centorino.

Scott previously served as President Trump's Special Assistant for Domestic Policy in the White House and as a senior fellow at the Foundation for Government Accountability, a Florida-based think tank. His experiences give him special insight into what makes a think tank effective and how donors should evaluate their success.
