The Boston Globe takes a critical look at foundation donations and finds that much of it, as Paul Grogan of the Boston Foundation attests, goes to established institutions that the givers are associated with in some way...very class-based -- geared to elite institutions that serve the givers, their family members, and their class. The recipients of the most cash from the top 1,000 non-profit foundations? Harvard and Stanford. Yale's in the top twenty too - as are another thirteen prestigious universities.
