Uncharitable Acts: If Donors Fail to Give, More Nonprofit Groups Take Them to Court
The Journal tells the story of a University of California lawsuit against the estate of the deceased real-estate developer Richard Barclay, who failed to pay the university a promised $1 million for a new theatre. The article reports that "some nonprofits are trying a not-so-charitable approach to corral money from major contributors who don't pay up. In recent years, a number of colleges, hospitals and other charities have filed lawsuits charging that reneging on a gift represents a breach of contract."
