Harvard University is looking to its major donors to help make up the billions in federal dollars it stands to lose after rejecting the Trump administration’s demands to change its culture and operations. The school’s leaders are reaching out to the likes of Michael Bloomberg, David Rubenstein, and John Paulson, sources told the Wall Street Journal. They will also need to woo donors who walked away over concerns about the climate on campus for Jewish students during the war in Gaza. Major contributor Peter Malkin, a lawyer and real-estate investor, has stepped up his giving, saying, “The shame of all of this is that what is being damaged is science and medical research, which has really nothing to do with antisemitism.” (Wall Street Journal — subscription)
Nonprofits and philanthropies focused on environmental issues are girding for an attempt by the Trump administration to revoke their tax-exempt status. As the White House and federal agencies end efforts to fight climate change, some organizations are tweaking their websites to downplay that part of their work. Rockefeller Foundation president Rajiv Shah said in a statement that the organization is mulling how to “get back to basics,” while Bill Gates has cut back on climate policy work at his Breakthrough Energy group. An executive at Amazon Watch, a rainforest protection group, said revoking groups’ tax-exempt status would be part of a “multipronged approach to chill dissent.” (Financial Times — subscription)
