The Kentucky Senate has overwhelmingly approved what the bill sponsor called “The Donor Intent Act.” Pikeville GOP Senator Phillip Wheeler said the measure allows individuals who make endowment donations to a charitable group to go to court if the organization is not meeting the intent. Wheeler said he’s not pointing any fingers, saying non-profits and charitable foundations do wonderful work throughout Kentucky.
“This is merely a tool that will provide ever greater confidence in those organizations because the people will know that, if in fact, something has gone wrong, that they have a right to have their intent enforced,” said Wheeler.
