Elise Westhoff indicated that members of the Roundtable are likely to have priorities that won’t change drastically in the next four years.
“We’re not a political organization; we’re an organization based on principles,” she says. “If a donor thinks that those principles are under attack in some way or less likely to thrive under certain leadership, I can understand that they would want to invest more heavily in them. But our donors have committed missions and donor intent, and those don’t change with an election.”
