Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

A North Dakota jury has ordered Greenpeace to pay more than $660 million to a Texas-based pipeline company over its role in the Dakota Access pipeline protests in 2016 and 2017. The company, Energy Transfer, said Greenpeace’s actions had caused it financial and reputational damage, while the environmental group said it joined the protests at the invitation of the Indigenous people who led it. Greenpeace called the case an attempt to stifle free speech and said it would appeal. (New York Times)

Catholic leaders in New York State are resisting efforts by survivors of clergy sexual abuse to get settlement payments from a nearly $4 billion, church-linked foundation. With almost all of the state’s dioceses in bankruptcy protection, lawyers representing thousands of victims are eyeing the assets of the Mother Cabrini Foundation, which makes grants to nonprofits and was formed after the sale of the church’s Fidelis Care health insurer in 2018. Church leaders say the foundation is separate from the dioceses, but some survivors say the sale of Fidelis and establishment of the foundation was a pre-emptive effort to shield church assets from what would be a flood of abuse claims.
