In an Op Ed through the Chronicle of Philanthropy, "poop" on Michael Steinhardt, a hedge fund billionaire know for being a very large donor principally to Jewish institutions but equally known for "questionable" behaviors and values, is explored in-depth but with a focus on questioning not as much the giver as the receiving institutions. This is a story of responsibility and ownership of inherent societal evils and misdeeds akin to recognizing that while there may have been far fewer slave holders and even dealers of slaves in New England in the 1800s this reality does not erase the fact that prosperous residents of these states profited from the goods and services traded with the Southern states who were producing goods and services literally off the backs of slaves.
In the world of philanthropy it is likely that nonprofits do not intrinsically share or agree with the "abusive", classist, and/or oppressive means with how the rich become rich but they do benefit none the less and rarely pause to question the sources of the money they take. They don't even tell or even acknowledge the realities while celebrating the benefits which are in theory of course about the benefits that would not otherwise be available to citizens.
Quite a tangled web woven in this "system" called philanthropy and one that really must begin with conversations by and between boards and their staff. At least the conversations can possibly lead to an understanding and possibly, positive action.
