Glad to see that the Nonprofit Quarterly has taken on the sacred cow of foundation perpetuity.
The Nonprofiteer wonders whether so few charity experts have addressed the issue heretofore because to do so requires them to agree with Senator Grassley and and his ilk, people whose generalized hostility to the charitable sector has made our lives miserable in so many other contexts. If so, it’s understandable but hardly defensible: the enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but it behooves me to listen to his arguments and see if there are any I can use.
