Thomas Dalton says: Given that the WMF will have had substantial communications with them for some time before getting the money, I think it's highly unlikely WMF would get their name wrong. What gives you the idea that the Stanton Foundation is a small Michigan non-profit?

I consider a foundation with about $400K in holdings a "small" one.
I'm waiting to hear back from Holtz Rubenstein Reminick (preparers of the Form 990 for the Ruth and Frank Stanton Fund), but I'll bet they have no affiliation with any "Stanton Foundation". I'm predicting this is a repeated error of the "shorthand" nature, being made by both the press and even benefactors. Nothing egregious, but it's just that because there *is* another real "Stanton Foundation", this is confusing. You know, "the sum of human knowledge" type of stuff that is important to me.
