[quote=Anonymous]Just reviewed the 990s of MoCo, DC and NoVA.  Only NoVA specifically line-itemed information about their scholarships without just rolling it into their overall program costs.  In addition to the IRS-provided 990s, both MoCo and NoVa voluntarily supplied their own copies as well so GuideStar is not solely providing IRS data.

I'm not good at adding graphics to DCUM, but according to NoVA's 990 "NOVA GOTR provided 756 scholarships totaling $86,041 in the fall and 736 scholarships totaling $85.802 in the spring to its participants."  Additionally, "GOTR International donated 105 pairs of shoes in the fall and 165 pairs of shoes in the spring to GOTR NOVA participants directly" through its sponsorship by New Balance Shoes.

No question in my mind that if you are truly interested, and not just interested in slamming a nonprofit on DCUM, that if you called the MoCo or DC offices they would be able to provide you with the specifics you are seeking.  You may still believe it's too expensive, and I can't dissuade you from that.  However, if you truly are interested in the financials of what it takes to put on this program, include the tens of thousands of dollars involved in putting on a road race, I'd encourage you to read these documents.  It's a great program.  Only you can decide if it's worth $165 for your daughter.[/quote]
