Draft:James W. Lintott

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: The only WP:GNG-relevant coverage I see here is these two: [1], [2], which isn't very much. I'd generally expect someone who gets a school named after them to be notable... is there anything else you could use to show significant coverage? Can you find any coverage of his books (professional reviews, etc)? asilvering (talk) 21:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

James "Jim" W. Lintott is the co-founder and chairman of Sterling Foundation Management, which provides charitable consulting services to private foundations. James W. Lintott Elementary School was named for Lintott in his hometown of Chehalis, Washington as a result of his philanthropy.

Career

[edit]

Lintott co-founded the charitable consulting service,[1] Sterling Foundation Management, LLC, in 1998 with Dr. Roger D. Silk.[2][3][4] The company is a wealth management firm[5] that helps run charitable endeavors.[6] According to Kurdistan 24 News, a delegate from the company met with Erbil Gov. Omed Khoshnaw and other Kurdish officials to discuss building a substance abuse treatment center on June 24, 2024.

The company is based in Reston, Virginia, a suburb of Washington D.C. Sterling Foundation Management was previously named Freedom Wealth Management.[7] Prior to founding the company, Lintott was a CFO.[8]

In 2003 and 2011, Lintott co-authored two books with Roger D. Silk.[9][10] Creating a Private Foundation (2003) and Managing Foundations and Charitable Trusts (2011) explain various charitable routes and their pros and cons.[11][12]

As of 2024, Lintott served on the boards of several national charities including the Tax Foundation,[13] United States-Japan Foundation,[14] the American Nutrition Association,[8] the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art[15], Best Buddies International,[16] Institute for Justice,[17] and the Junior State of America organization.[14]

Lintott formerly chaired the Children’s National Health System and was credited as key in helping the hospital grow into a $1 billion institution by the Washington Business Journal.[18][19] He was also recognized for his contributions to Children's National by a Virginia U.S. Representative in 2014[20] and with a matching commendation in the Virginia General Assembly.[21] Also in 2014, Lintott established a $500,000 endowment for the Children's National Health System in honor of his mother, a former school nurse. The "Virginia Lee Lintott Endowment for Excellence in School Nursing and Community Health" serves to train school nurses in and around D.C.[22]

Education

[edit]

Jim Lintott graduated from W.F. West High School in Chehalis in 1982,[23] where he was involved in Junior Statesmen of America (JSA).[14] Lintott attended Stanford University where he earned a bachelor's degrees in 1986 with distinction in economics and political science, and a master of arts degree in applied economics.[24][25] He then earned his Juris Doctorate from Stanford Law School, and was an associate editor for Stanford Law Review.[26]

Contributions to Chehalis

[edit]

Jim Lintott was raised in Chehalis, Washington, by Robert E. Lintott[23] and Virginia Lee Lintott.[27] In 2004, Lintott initially donated $100,000, following up with a $35,000 contribution, which allowed for updates to Alexander Park in Chehalis. The recreation area was renamed as Robert E. Lintott-Alexander Park, in honor of his father.[28]

The elementary school campus in Chehalis is home to the James W. Lintott Elementary School, named in recognition of Lintott,[24] and the Orin Smith Elementary School, named in honor of another former Chehalis resident and benefactor, Starbucks CEO Orin Smith.[29][7][30][31][28] Lintott and Smith's namesake elementary schools opened in 2018 and 2019, respectively.[32]

The non-profit Chehalis Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing improvements to the city, particularly its parks and schools, has been Lintott's primary donation medium for his hometown.[3] The nonprofit's efforts are responsible for the Chehalis School District's "Student Achievement Initiative,"[33] which took the district's high school graduation rates from 77% in 2010 to 96% in 2022.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Jim Lintott and his wife, May Liang, live in Great Falls, Virginia.[34] Together, they run the May Liang and Jim Lintott Foundation.[2] The couple has made donations to the YMCA of Fairfax County,[35] the Folger Shakespeare Library,[36] and epilepsy research through the Epilepsy Foundation.[37]
