Hayes Foundation is only one of hundreds of small, not-for-profit foundations and trusts that have sprung up under the umbrella of an Illinois outfit known as Americans Building Constitutionally (ABC). The organization was started 18 months ago by an itinerant financial adviser, James Walsh, and Robert D.
