The main form of organization of the Philanthropy culture is a family or corporate foundation. Its structure is modeled after the corporate network. Example Fig 1.
As it is seen, it is a hierarchy-based structure between decision-makers and service staff. As a rule, the board of directors is the philanthropist’s family or trusted business partners. The rule includes appointing as director a prestigious intellectual or well-known public figure with the reason to increase the public trust in the activities. As the philanthropy organization is publicly exposed, the board of directors should look inclusive of all races and gender affiliations. For example, the Rockefeller Foundation board of directors looks like the ONU. The headquarter of a non-profit, by definition, should be in a corporate-looking building in the middle of an economic, financial, or publicly centered place, at a convenient distance from governmental institutions and the media.
