I don't know!!! Where did you hear it from? In what context? Reply directly to me at [email protected]

You might mean "private inurement." As a general rule, say, a charitable donation may not legally end up going to ("inure to the benefit of") an insider of the charity.

Example: Harvard Community Health Plan wanted to be called

a charity to avoid property tax in Cambridge. But one court that ruled on the case said:

This prohibition against inurement to

"insiders" will preclude exemption for the property of a group medical practice

or clinic where, for example, the physicians "employed" by it serve on its board

or otherwise exert control over its finances.
