Philanthropy Roundtable. ''philanthropyroundtable.org''. 2006. The ACR website describes its formation "as an emergency self-defense initiative to respond to legislative proposals on Capitol Hill, some of which could adversely affect private foundations and the charities they support." The Alliance opposes legislation that would create accreditation requirements for grant-making foundations or that would institute more frequent tax-exempt status checks. It also opposes restrictions on the autonomous operation of family foundations by family members."About The Alliance For Charitable Reform." Alliance For Charitable Reform. ''acreform.org''. 2007. [http://www.acreform.com/who/about.html In a letter published in '' The Hill '', ACR co-founders Dan Peters and Heather Higgins responded to discussion of legislative regulatory proposals, saying that, " ACR believes that every dollar of tax increases on foundations is to the federal government rather than a dollar to charities, and the ACR is troubled by that notion.... We cannot adopt a one-size-fits-all solution that disadvantages smaller organizations. We must do everything possible to encourage philanthropy and not create barriers to charitable giving."Peters, Dan and Heather Higgins. "Letter: Don't Erect Barriers to Charity."
