Susan has an interesting challenge to Peter B. Lewis, Cleveland business mogul and uber-donor turned crotchety-old-Scrooge, over at her self-titled blog. I wonder whether Lewis himself is totally deserving of the criticism, as he does run a company that is known for being good to its employees (including those I know), but the wider problem of non-profits being funded by finicky, patronizing billionaires is surely worth correcting. Non-profits have real, important, community-sustaining work to do, and we should find a better mechanism than the whims of the rich to finance it.
