Several organizations, including pension companies, have been
withdrawing their investments that may indirectly support Russia's war
in Ukraine. Similarly there have been several news reports of
directors stepping down from companies where their personal interests
and or past history is now seen to be in conflict with the ethical
values of the organisation they represent.
Has the board of the Wikimedia Foundation or the board of the
Endowment Fund asked for a governance review for their connections of
people (including trustees and advisers), received donations, outgoing
funding or investment funds that may even indirectly or
unintentionally support the actions of the Russian government?
As an example, the founder of Cendana Capital, a global venture
capital company, is an adviser for the Endowment Fund, but I can not
find a specific governance report for Cendana Capital for financial
interests connected Russia. Being "global", it's hard to imagine there
is none or has never been any.
