In its recent piece on balancing museum management with respect for donor intent, the New York Times cites Roundtable president Adam Meyerson and Protecting Donor Intent author Jeffrey J. Cain.
“A respect for donor intent is essential for philanthropic integrity,” said Adam Meyerson, president of the Philanthropy Roundtable, an association dedicated to protecting benefactors’ interests. However, he added, “You’re not serving donor intent if you go bankrupt.”
The Philanthropy Roundtable is committed to preserving, strengthening, and celebrating the principle of donor intent. To that end, we publish a range of materials, from practical, how-to guides for living donors to principled justifications of donor intent. Visit our donor intent resource library (referenced in the Times’ piece) to see the best articles, books, and discussions on the topic.
