Foundations: Organization And Operation, Alexander Brodsky, Harry E. Brodsky
Cleveland State Law Review
As lawyers we can anticipate much activity in new litigation challenging foundations for misuse and abuse of their privileged existence.Foundations themselves must demonstrate their sense of responsibility to the public. The problem of accountability is of prime all philanthropic foundations.To accomplish these objectives we must, as Professor Sacks presented the question, search for the ideal methods for maintaining (calls) "the delicate balance of public ends and private means that ismbodied in the charitable foundation."
Federal Taxation And Non-Profit Organizations, Marcus Schoenfeld
Federal Taxation And Non-Profit Organizations, Marcus Schoenfeld
Cleveland State Law Review
The Revenue Act of 1969 is one of the greatest overall changes in the revenue laws since the introduction of the federal income tax . Perhaps the most extensive changes were made in the area of tax-exempt organizations. Only some of these changes were within of the topic of this presentation, and some of the other changes in the "charitable" area merit great discussion-for example charitable remainder trusts. Even the topics discussed herein, of necessity were discussed briefly due to lack of time and Regulations. The full the 1969 Act on non-profit organizations will not be apparent for quite some …

Organization And Operation Of Non-Profit Corporations - Some General Considerations, Robert S. Pasley
Cleveland State Law Review
To come now to my assigned topic, I propose to discuss some of the more general aspects of non-profit corporations under the following headings: Definitions, Purposes and Powers, Formation, Finance, Members. My observations will be based principally on the Model Non-profit Corporation Act and the recently enacted New York Not-for-Profit Corporation Law. The former has been adopted in some six or seven states and parts of it have been enacted in four other states.
Privileges And Immunities Of Non-Profit Organizations, Gerard D. Dimarco, Ira O. Kane
Privileges And Immunities Of Non-Profit Organizations, Gerard D. Dimarco, Ira O. Kane
Cleveland State Law Review
"And now abideth, faith home and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." This unsubtle reference to the word charity describes superficially the field of non-profit or not-for-profit corporation law. The objective of this paper is not to delve into the intricacies and complexities of the non-profit area, but rather to make manifest a few of the many privileges and immunities granted to non-profit corporations.
The Not-For-Profit Business Corporation, James K. Weeks
The Not-For-Profit Business Corporation, James K. Weeks
Cleveland State Law Review
The Non-Profit Corporation is usually regarded traditionally from a lay and legal viewpoint as one being engaged in charitable, educational, scientific or social work or a religious endeavor. On the other hand, the Not-for-Profit Corporation is more often engaged in enterprises usually associated with functions of a business corporation. However, as soon as one begins to view these corporations from a definitional standpoint, one is bogged down in an incredibly complicated procedure which does little to clarify the confusion.
Relocation Of Publicly Supported Charitable Organizations, Deborah C. Goshien
Relocation Of Publicly Supported Charitable Organizations, Deborah C. Goshien
Cleveland State Law Review
Is a donor powerless to prevent a charitable hospital from moving to another county after he has contributed substantially to its building fund? Surprisingly enough, the answer to this question may be "yes." It has been said that the community's interest is evident when charitable monies come from direct public contributions, and that even if no trust is found a charitable corporation must use a gift for the purpose intended. Yet general expressions of what "should be" or what "is right" are insufficient guidelines for proper enforcement of fiduciary duties, and there has been much confusion in the administration and …
Non-Profit Types, Uses, And Abuses: 1970, Howard L. Oleck
Non-Profit Types, Uses, And Abuses: 1970, Howard L. Oleck
Cleveland State Law Review
American society long has consisted, to an extraordinary extent, of voluntary associations of persons and organizations not-for-profit, but for the public good (pro bono publico). No other nation in the world even approaches the United States in number and activity of non-profit organizations. These organizations are based on the characteristic American tendency to form groups (to associate themselves) voluntarily, for the accomplishment of social, religious, educational, fraternal, economic, and other purposes. Americans are the greatest "joiners" in the world. American non-profit organizations, generally speaking, are a magnificent part of the society, despite the disturbing growth of abuses among them.
