But we can see that 50 % of the funding is funded by donors. So these do not have the majority. But they have the power for a «veto». A veto is a legal power to unilaterally stop an official action:

Richard J. Davidson is only listed as the Founder of the Center for Healthy Minds, and not as the Director:

«founder and chair of the Center for Healthy Minds»:
