It seems like there are quite a lot of people/orgs who made plans based on promised money that now seems unlikely to arrive. Is there a lesson that can be learned about how to reduce risk in grant awarding e.g. by waiting until funds are securely in the foundation’s hands? Or is there no way to avoid this risk given potential clawbacks, even in cases of bankruptcy that don’t involve any fraud?
