Enforcement Rights of Charitable Donors
Reid K. Weisbord (Dechert, LLP) has posted his article Reservations About Donor Standing: Should the Law Allow Charitable Donors to Reserve the Right to Enforce a Gift Restriction? on SSRN.
Here is the abstract of his article:
While charitable donors are often eager to enforce the terms of their gift in court, principles of charitable trust law traditionally preclude a donor from litigating restrictions governing the use of a gift. This article analyzes the most recent decisions that erode the common law prohibition of donor standing and proposes a model for legislative reform that would create a limited right to reserve donor standing.

Are non-profit board meetings open to donors attending by right? It has always been my understanding that a donor to a non-profit has a right to attend board meetings and review financials.
