According to Broad, "People don’t know I’ve got a deep social conscience." In describing his attitude toward philanthropy he says, "Whatever we do has to pass three tests. One, will it make a difference 30 years from now? Two, if we don’t do it, will it happen anyway? Three, are there people who can really make it happen?"[2]

Broad is a member of the Think Long Committee for California. This group announced in November 2011 that it plans to submit an initiative proposal for the state's November 2012 ballot to raise taxes in the state by $10 billion.[3]
