The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP) has asked the federal and state authorities to investigate the Otto Bremer Foundation after its three trustees installed themselves as co-CEOs.
The foundation’s three trustees — S. Brian Lipschultz, Daniel Reardon and Charlotte Johnson — announced their intention to become co-CEOs after the departure of former Executive Director Randi Roth last summer.
“Ms. Roth’s position — executive director of philanthropy — was eliminated in June when the trustees determined that they could best carry out their duties and responsibilities by simplifying the reporting structure of the staff,” said Jon Austin, a communications consultant serving as a spokesman for the St. Paul, Minn.-based foundation.
