About the Author
David C. Hammack
David C. Hammack has extensive experience in writing about, and working with, charitable foundations. His most recent book is A Versatile American Institution: The Changing Ideals and Realities of Philanthropic Foundations, with Helmut K. Anheier (2013). He was a Resident Scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation in the early 1980s, served on the Community Foundation Committee of the Council on Foundations in the mid-1980s, and co-directed a major research project on the Contributions of Foundations organized by the Aspen Institute. Among his other articles and books are Making the Nonprofit Sector in the United States: A Reader (1998). A past president of the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action and the 2012 recipient of the association's award for distinguished achievement, he has been a Guggenheim Fellow, a Visiting Fellow at the Yale Program on Non-Profit Organizations. He is currently Haydn Professor of History at Case Western Reserve University.
Stanton Wheeler
In a distinguished career, Stanton Wheeler "helped create the field of sociology of law," as Harold Hongju Koh, Dean of Yale Law School, put it at Wheeler's death in 2007. After studying at Pomona College and the University of Washington, Wheeler taught at Harvard and then as one of the first non-lawyers on the Yale Law School faculty. From 1964 to 1968 Wheeler held appointments as a sociologist at the Russell Sage Foundation. A Fulbright Scholar and a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, he wrote many articles and ten books, including Sitting in Judgment: The Sentencing of White Collar Criminals (with Kenneth Mann and Austin Sarat, 1988). Between 1985 and 1987 he served as president of the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles. In 2004 he received The Outstanding Scholar Award of the Fellows of the American Bar Foundation.
