Being sealed off from authentic grantee and community scrutiny and contestation is a structural feature of the sector, as foundations are formally obligated to no In exchange for tax-exempt status, U.S. government regulations require little of private foundations other than that they give 5% of their assets annually to qualifying nonprofits.
