To shrug this off, or attribute it to an abstract “contradiction,” is to sustain the status quo. Generally, fringe purse of a substantial private benefit will disqualify an organization’s tax-exempt status. A qualitatively incidental “private benefit must not be substantial after considering the overall public benefit conferred by the activity.” According to the IRS, some private benefit is qualitatively permissible if “the benefits from the organization’s activities flow principally to the general public . However, even substantial private benefits may be tolerated if they are considered qualitatively and quantitatively incidental in comparison with the organization’s charitable goals. “A private benefit is quantitatively incidental if it is ‘a necessary concomitant of the activity which benefits the public at large, i.e., the activity can be accomplished only by benefiting certain private individuals’.” 30 With the market for contemporary art skyrocketing, and the tax code incentivizing mega-collectors to open private operating foundations rather than donating works to established publicly-supported museums, we have a proliferation of institutions sporting “all the usual suspects.” What all these suspect institutions do collectively is raise the price of their private assets, all the while lowering their taxes.
Qualitatively incidental private benefits are “a mere byproduct of a public benefit,” whereas, quantitatively private benefits should be insubstantial in amount. The rub is that it is up to the donor to determine what constitutes “public benefit,” casting all sorts of self-interested decisions as such. With hook still in place, pull cut ends of fringe through the loop to make knot. Pull fringe ends to tighten. The understanding that what is private or public about money, surplus, revenue, and the tax system are all social constructs and not a natural law, has spread from the fringe to mainstream electoral politics. Given the demographic distribution, where wealthier neighborhoods are statistically more white, we must underscore that, on a social scale, these nonprofits are systematically subsidizing a system that sustains white supremacy.

I knotted one on the left side, and the other on the right, to prevent the straps from coming out of the hem later on when closing the backpack. Many, including himself, lament that Eli Broad stands out as a single mega-donor in a city weaker in philanthropy than its East-coast rivals. Five sizes from XS to XL, fitted with waist shaping, and including some border lace with a six stitch repeat. Protesting the sudden layoffs, workers of the Marciano foundations marched to LAXart, a contemporary arts nonprofit, to demand that its board member Olivia Marciano, former artistic director at the Foundation and daughter of Maurice Marciano, speak up in defense of her workers or be removed from the LAXart board. Her service on the LAXart board is connected to the wealth she inherits, itself connected to the exploitation of labor, echoed in the fact that Marciano SVAs were only granted part-time employment and asked to commit in advance with no such courtesy extended to them.

Although the claim addresses Broad personally, the artwork acknowledges the limits of the law in pursuing individuals on narrow bases. Moreover, “low-income individuals give away more money as a percentage of their income than does everyone else except the very wealthiest.”26In terms of percentage, poor people are more generous than the rich, both of which give more than the middle-class. See more shipping details here. We could ask: who pays for shipping and insurance when works are moved between storage facilities and the various residencies of donors? In California there is also a “Works of Art Exemption” that “provides a property tax exemption for certain works of art that are made available for display in an art gallery or museum.” Imagine the amount of public money lost when property tax from a Gerhard Richter remains in the pocket of the collector who parked it in a nonprofit in Oregon (not to speak of the growing trend of art storage in tax freeports).
