    Dispute over philanthropic obligations and nonprofit status

    A lawsuit brought between 1969 and 1975 questioned whether Battelle was fulfilling philanthropic commitments associated with its nonprofit structure. The dispute concluded with an $80 million settlement used for civic, cultural, and environmental projects in Columbus. Battelle later lost nonprofit status in the 1990s and regained it by 2001, according to the referenced account.
