Philip Menninger of the Menninger Foundation told Cedar Rapids at St. Luke's Founders Award that late 1960s inflation and fears about federal support have reduced donations to education and health groups.

He notes legislators often drift from public good and urges due diligence before donating, citing BBB and state AG as information sources.
