Private Wealth and Public Bodies

The Grosse Pointe League is pleased to announce its upcoming Private Wealth and Public Bodies program. This in-person program is on Wednesday, December 7, at 7p at the Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church.

Americans pay taxes to support public institutions that serve all of us, but wealthy individuals have long sought ways to share their resources with their communities. This often means donating to support projects in local cities, school districts, and library districts. Is this a healthy practice for communities? What steps do communities need to take to ensure that it’s a healthy practice? What challenges face public bodies when they are offered private money? What are the best practices recommended to protect both the donors and the recipients? 

Speakers:

  • Mariam Noland, retired president of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan
  • Dave Egner, president & CEO of the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation
  • Christian Fenton, retired deputy superintendent for business and operations for the Grosse Pointe Public Schools

Register for this program at lwvgrossepointe.org.

This event is free and open to the public. Please feel free to share this announcement with your friends and family.
