Fremed notes on spending in trusts and foundations
The text contrasts public bodies quickly spending funds with charitable trusts and foundations that often payout too slowly. It cites Parkinson's Law in reverse, where the payout lags behind the available money, implying inefficiency in charitable distributions and a tendency to conserve funds rather than invest them promptly.
Foundations and the charitable trap in elite philanthropy
The piece argues that many foundations hoard wealth to grow their empire rather than fund public good. It cites Julius Rosenwald’s fund model and contrasts with Ford and Rockefeller giving. It notes a Justice Portas linked fund pays poorly despite high fees, questioning tax-exempt intent and urging closer scrutiny of foundations that enrich their organizers.
