One could argue that any action that would injure the movement would also injure the Foundation by definition. Denny is quite correct that trustees have a legal obligation to put the Foundation before anything else, however there's usually a fair bit of latitude in how that obligation is interpreted.
This is effectively my view. Trustees have an unavoidable fiduciary duty to the Foundation - it's the law, and it brings with it certain responsibilities. First among those responsibilities is to recognize and support the ecosystem of editors, GLAM folks, chapters, staff, fellow traveler organizations, readers, etc. which makes that possible.
