What! Turmoil in silly cone valley! How can that be? We've been informed repeatedly how awesomely inclusive and tolerant these folks are.

2 billion dollars.

Just d-mn

Is there any charity anywhere run by leftists that is not corrupt, self-serving, oriented towards liberal causes and ultimately lines the pockets of rich elitist liberal‘s?

I didn’t think so.

[antidisestablishment]

We need to abolish all non-profit organization exemptions across-the-board. They need to be held to the same laws as everyone else. There’s nothing inherently good about non-profit—in fact it’s anti-American at the core. These money-laundering projects are a clear and present danger to our country.

Before you start railing about your good charity, tell me if you’d stop donating because you lost your tax write off.

Yet to her colleagues, Ms. Loijens was known as a bully who regularly made offensive remarks.

During one meeting, Ms. Dupras said she mentioned to the group that she wasn't feeling well, eliciting a sexually charged retort from Ms. Loijens.

"She said I was pretty good looking and might be pregnant," Ms. Dupras said. "She said, 'You might want to get that checked out.'"

Elizabeth Dressel, who left the foundation in 2012, said that one evening, a young black woman on her team was working late. Ms. Loijens approached the young woman and said, "O.K. slave, come into my office."

At another meeting, Ms. Dupras said Ms. Loijens threatened her staff. Employees were supposed to take meetings with donors or their advisers in pairs, but Ms. Loijens learned that someone had met with a donor without a partner.

"Then she said, 'If I ever catch you having a meeting by yourself, I'll kill you,'" Ms. Dupras said.

And there you have it.

Proglib comrat.

Absolutely convinced of their superiority above all others.

Believes they should rightfully have the power and authority of life and death.

Probably wants the United States to implement socialism on a nationwide scale...

Liberal privilege in action.

Charity?

More like a political action committee!

[aquila48]

Doesn't she just ooze charity?

We founded the Thunderbird Foundation twenty years ago.

How about sending a billion or two our way? Historic preservation is important too! We escaped Silicon Valley and their leftie elitists.

[independentmind]

Silicon Valley has a toxic culture overall, so this is no surprise.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

Yeah, even in a charity, if you’re bringing in billions of dollars, the CEO is not going to be very receptive to hearing about any complaints about how you treat your reports.

[WASCWatch]

She resigned last month in less than 24 hours after an expose on her was published.

This is exactly what is wrong with the Clinton Foundation, this one and all others...The flowery language on all their websites is total garbage. Has anyone ever SEEN any results produced in any arena with the millions of dollars raised? Just as they say - unicorns and pixie dust...all’s right with the world as long as you keep sending us those checks. The big donors don’t care about results - they still get the tax exemption. It needs to STOP! Kind of like Buffett and Bill Gates urging tax increases for everyone else - their assets are protected with clever accounting.

The posters are absolutely correct - put a stop to all of them. Shut them down!

“”Silicon Valley Community Foundation is not alone in trying hard to please its biggest donors. Every nonprofit worth its tax exemption works to cultivate and provide stewardship to its major supporters. But here’s the difference. Most charitable organizations have a compelling mission describing why they exist. They are saving an endangered species, counseling veterans, curing diseases, teaching immigrants, providing housing, training nurses, feeding children, preserving a historic home, or what have you. These organizations try to get donors to connect with the organizational mission and to see that work as vital. The contributions then follow. This is the building block of charitable fundraising.

But what about an organization whose mission, essentially, is whatever the donor says its mission is? At a basic level, that’s how a donor-advised-fund-sponsoring organization operates. If the donor cares about saving elephants in Africa, that’s the mission or the organization. If the donor cares about educating orphans in New Brunswick, that’s the mission, too. The SVCF mission statement reads: “Silicon Valley Community Foundation is a comprehensive center of philanthropy. Through visionary leadership, strategic grantmaking and world-class experiences, we partner with donors to strengthen the common good locally and throughout the world.” I read that to mean: “Our mission is whatever the donors think the mission is.””
