Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

Americans have given about $62 million toward the restoration of Notre-Dame Cathedral, making them the second-largest group of donors to the project. Among them are Nick and Suzie Trivisonno, of Charlotte, N.C., who gave an undisclosed sum. Retirees from business and finance, they are regular visitors to France. For their largess, the Trivisonnos were feted at a dinner and invited to the cathedral’s reopening this past weekend. (New York Times)

Plus: Thousands of donors helped fund the Notre Dame reconstruction effort. (New York Times)

Charities funded by oil billionaire Charles Koch have channeled nearly $18 million to two nonprofit law firms that led a successful fight this year to gut federal agencies’ ability to interpret regulations. The New Civil Liberties Alliance and Cause of Action found plaintiffs and shepherded lawsuits all the way to the Supreme Court, which overturned a 40-year-old precedent requiring judges to defer to agency expertise. Now an alliance of Koch-funded groups is targeting a list of regulations to challenge, according to a recording of a conference call reviewed by the Washington Post. (Washington Post)
