More than 25 MILLION females are aborted worldwide each year, it is axiomatic that this DOES NOT "improve" women's health and rights.

Clearly it's a business decision; but why, ostensibly, should they give a rip?
Perhaps foundations have outlived their usefulness. Many that started with worthy objectives have been hijacked by their trustees in the service of weirdness. Many were probably ill-conceived, though well-intentioned, from the start. Some just let wealthy but kookie individuals pursue objectives during and after their lives which in no way deserve the tax exemption that foundations enjoy.(When you die, you die and your {former} money should not prolong the reality of your demise).
If a cause is worthy, then it will gain support and maintain support from the current giving of those who are interested in it. It won’t need a foundation to sustain it, and the givers to the cause won’t tolerate a bunch of paid professionals profitting from not-for-profits who elbow aside the people who actually care about the causes.
The same applies to universities. Most of their endowments were from people who would be mortified by most of their present policies, and some of their endowments were expressly given for purposes which the universities would rather die than honor, such as providing an education for a white christian male from Meridian. So the university hires lawyers to redefine white, redefine christian, redefine male, and redefine Meridian, so the scholarship can go to some transgender basketball player from Yuma who will save the women’s basketball team from being an institutional embarassment, or an organ grinder from Chechnya who can make the moslem mid-day call to prayer sound more like a polka to help disguise what it really is.
If you want to make a mark with your money, look around your neighborhood and use it for the advantage of people you know in the here-and-now. If you don’t, glib-tongued opportunistic strangers will enjoy living well off the proceeds of your bequest, while giving what they can’t use of your money to people you never knew and never would have wanted to have known.
These 2 foundations are also sponsors of NPR. Anything to get their perverse message out, right?
Speaking of double dog dare, I double dog dare Ford to get off their dead butts and build a better auto and keep their meat hooks off womens personal body parts.

Thanks for the ping.
Hmmm... Something tells me the leftists won’t be complaining about the use of religion to acheive THEIR political agenda. It’s only wrong when we on the right do it. Then they yell “separation of church and state”.
WHOA!
Many of those foundations were formed with good intentions, but some were formed to enable wealthy elitists to push their agendas. Many long ago adopted an attitude about controlling population growth; some allied with Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood early on, because they wanted to control the numbers of people who were of color, or of the wrong religion (Catholics, particularly). They considered these folks to be of lesser intelligence, therefore, they wanted them to NOT muck up the gene pool.
I was not surprised to see the Ford foundation, they had ties to the Nazis.
