Abstract

This is a review of The Problems with Donor Intent: Interpretation, Enforcement, and Doing the Right Thing (85 Chi.-Kent. L. Rev. 977 (2010) by Susan N. Gary. In light of the tough economic times, charitable donations are on the decline. Those charities fortunate enough to receive gifts must take appropriate actions to respect the donor’s intent and to avoid expensive litigation. The practical suggestions Professor Gray includes in her article will assist charities in accomplishing those goals.
