Tensions exist between privacy and accountability in a philanthropic context, and how privateness interacts with forms and practices of accountability beyond transparency remains unclear. This study examines privacy and accountability in Private Ancillary Funds (PAFs), Australian endowed philanthropic foundations established for public benefit purposes, yet with private ownership and control. Three levels of privacy and accountability in foundations are examined: individual or family donors, the foundations they create, and foundations as a group or institution. Semi-structured interviews with managers and/or trustees of PAFs reveal privacy exists at different levels and different points simultaneously on the continuum between privateness and publicness, impacting perceptions and practices of accountability. |
