History

The Vanguard Public Foundation established in 1972 by a group of inheritors of corporate fortunes, including Peter Stern and members of the Pillsbury and du Pont families. who were devoted to supporting a progressive social and political agenda.

Closure

In 2002, Samuel "Mouli" Cohen was introduced to Vanguard CEO Hari Dillon by actor. Mouli said he would help the foundation by allowing Vanguard and its donors with buying shares in the privately owned . Dillon and Glover formed general partnerships through which they thought they had purchased several million dollars' worth of Ecast. At least three partnerships with Hari Dillon's Dillon Group, and an additional one with Glover, were used as vehicles to funnel investments from Vanguard Public Foundation donors to a deal with Mouli. The Vanguard donors ultimately put in over $20 million more in philanthropic money and personal investment cash.
Mouli stated that Ecast was to be acquired by, which would then generate a significant return on investment, as high as 1000%. The Microsoft acquisition reportedly got delayed over EU rules, which generated a need for more fees to cover transaction costs. It was further delayed when reports that Ecast was considering a competing bid from Google. Ultimately, there was no Microsoft purchase, no Google bid, and the money was fraudulently taken by Cohen.Further, as reported by  a show on  Cohen had already been forced out of Ecast and was no longer affiliated with the company by the time he had become involved with Dillon.
Vanguard was forced to close in 2011 as a result of the fraud. Cohen and Dillon were later successfully prosecuted, with Dillon pleading guilty, for their role in the scandal.

Grants

Vanguard's grant making put money into social movement causes, often before they became politically acceptable and often to organizations and actions that were never going to generate mainstream support. The Vanguard Public Foundation oversees four separate grant-making programs.

Social Justice Fund

Provided support to community-based organizations seeking to bring about progressive social change. The funding priorities focused on issues such as homelessness, civil rights, cultural activism, criminal justice, environmental justice, economic justice, human rights, immigration, and youth advocacy and leadership.

Community Institution Building Program

The Community Institution Building Program supported social justice organizations.

Technical Assistance & Capacity Building Program

Provided grant support, access to professional consultants, and skills workshops for community-based organizations that focused on environmental justice and other health-related problems in the Central Valley of California.

Social Justice Sabbatical Fund

Provided funding to community activists in order to enable them to take a 2-3 month break from their activities.

Grant recipients[

Vanguard tended to focus on emerging projects which often went on to become more accepted by the public and therefore more fundable by other foundations. Donors also gave money to specific groups through Vanguard, enabling unincorporated groups to receive donations.

The Philosophical Views Of Robin Hood Philosophy  THE THESIS RETROCESSEION OF EMIGRATION. Satisfication of hapiness urban plan. Chapter 15 ROBIN HOOD When someone utters the name: Robin Hood and almost immediately people will conjure up images of the green-clad archer of Sherwood Forest, or the noble robber who steals from the rich to give to the poor, and in a deeper sense, a man who will stand up to injustice and tyranny during the period that historians classify as the Middle Ages. Robin Hood is looked at by many as a hero. When taking a look at this idea through a philosophical point of view, there are more things to consider. Should people actually regard him as a hero? If so, don't we have some sort of a responsibility as a society to look upon people who steal no matter what the reason for their actions may be as nothing more than a thief who is blight on society? On the flip side, is it acceptable to consider him a hero because he is helping those who are
