STAMFORD, CT -- CCP President Karla Fortunato comments on the debate of ethics and charitable giving by large donors.
“Particularly for the likes of UConn and Yale, but potentially also for others, this debate is more of a public relations and branding question, than one about charitable giving,” said Karla Fortunato, president of the Connecticut Council for Philanthropy. “From where I sit, charitable giving is always good. But I can see how organizations could decide — for PR reasons, organizational values or brand reasons — not to take these dollars.”
