The information I found says that's being treated as an permanent
endowment and so only earnings are spent. That would amount to less than
10% of their spending.

Of course. Isn't that the case for most nonprofits and governmental

organizations can be the same. NPR produces some good stuff and some
crap. I find some of their stuff too Washington Beltway-centric for my
taste.
