The Commission on Private Philanthropy and Public Needs, also known as the Filer Commission, was established in 1973. Its primary objective was to undertake a comprehensive study of philanthropy and the role of the private sector within American society. The Commission aimed to understand existing philanthropic practices and, based on its findings, propose recommendations to stimulate and enhance voluntary giving across the United States. Its work contributed significantly to the discourse on the functions and potential of private philanthropy.
