Control offers an incisive and compelling critique of the United States philanthropic system and culture where, Galaich argues, the core problem is excessive donor control. Galaich demonstrates that ultra-wealthy donors exercise an outsized degree of control in our social sector and a false sense of ownership over charitable funds that no longer belong to them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGalaich explains why the influence of major donors extends long after a financial gift has legally and ethically stopped being the donor's money. He also discusses how  philanthropic and legal systems have unintentionally put the big donor at the center of everything that private foundations and donor-advised funds prioritize and do, instead of the communities these institutions exist to serve. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA convincing argument revealing how donor control upends American foundation philanthropy, its impact, and what we should do about it\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA mirror held up to the behaviors, myths, accepted practices, and \"fake rules\" that impede philanthropic progress in the areas where it's most urgently needed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA rare peek into the inner workings of private foundations, showing what happens and how grantmaking decisions are made behind the closed doors of these secretive institutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn uncompromising and principled look at a massive and influential industry, \u003ci\u003eControl\u003c\/i\u003e identifies foundational problems with big-donor philanthropy in the US and offers the first steps toward a comprehensive solution.
