No, it is not the same thing. A private foundation can continue to be a part of the solution without it being the focus. Krämer&#x27;s (I checked the name!) point is that the focus in the US is private donations which means that the billionaires have a much higher level of influence on where the money goes. It&#x27;s not that, say, the Make A Wish Foundation is inherently bad or that donating to them is a bad thing, rather the possibility that Zuckerberg could decide to give them 95% of his wealth while more critical social services receive none of it that is concerning.
