“Leftists who have worked themselves into amazingly lucrative leadership positions at these charities, redirect the money given to perform the stated function, in order to push their personal political agenda.”

Walter Annenberg, a noted conservative, endowed the Annenberg Foundation. It is now supporting liberal causes and gave money to Bill Ayers and Barak Obama for their ridiculous Chicago Schools initiative, which failed in its purpose but enriched them both. I don’t give money anymore.

See what happens is that someone like Annenberg leaves money for a foundation to do the things he believed in but after a time the foundation is taken over by the professional non-profit types who are all, for the most part, Left-Wing Liberals and they redirect everything to the opposite direction of the person who left the money.

Happened at the Ford Foundation also. Henry Ford II and his family set that up for certain things and somehow in short period of time the Lefties got control to the point the Ford Family left the board and Henry Ford II was so livid he never had anything ever to do with the foundation. By the way the foundation was endowed with Ford Motor Stock and after a period the trustees sold it all, another reason the Ford Family got mad.
