Nonprofit Board Addresses Having Done Serious Harm

Nonprofit Board Addresses Having Done Serious Harm

What do you do when your organization's president and other top administrators appear to have failed to significantly develop and institute polices and procedures that would fully protect the organization from harm and harming?  Well, first you release yourself from any obligations and connections to those that failed.  You also start developing and putting into place the means to ensure this does not happen going forward.  And finally, you look to put into place individuals you, those you serve, and the public can have confidence that going forward, all will be well.

And thus, the Penn State board begins a new chapter having followed the above route and Monday announced the appointment of its new President .  For those harmed, the University Board may always be in debt.  For the future, now's the time to ensure that no new harm will occur under its or anyone's watch.

Bloomberg Spotlights MacKenzie Scott's $65 Million Donation to LISC

An article in Bloomberg highlights MacKenzie Scott’s recent unrestricted grant-making to nonprofits, including a $65 million gift to LISC. Unrestricted gifts like this, in addition to Scott’s 2020 donation of $40 million, allow LISC to build upon its work with a more flexible and innovative approach. As our CEO, Michael Pugh, noted to Bloomberg, “the ability to have unrestricted giving like this frankly allows us to unlock and tap into the American Dream for everyday Americans across our country.”

MacKenzie Scott, the prolific philanthropist, announced that she is donating $65 million to LISC, the largest contribution in our organization’s 45-year history. This is Scott’s second grant to LISC, which builds on a $40 million gift in 2020 that was used to seed programs that narrow gaps in health, wealth and opportunity, particularly for communities of color.
