Donor Intent & Shifting Priorities: What to Do When Plans Change.

Over recent decades, the question of honoring donor intent has become paramount at charities. From Princeton to the University of Chicago to a small animal shelter in New Jersey, among many others, charities are grappling with how to best further their missions and abide by agreed-upon donor wishes. As reported in The Washington Post in September, Sibley Hospital is the latest example of a charity caught in the crosshairs of a controversy. Doug will discuss these examples and suggest best practices to help nonprofits to avoid these situations in the future.
