[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:33, you started out well but then felt the need to start attacking another poster, which is unnecessary.  It really is okay that people ask these questions. Non profit organizations pay no taxes and are granted their non profit status to serve a particular group. It's fine for people to want to know whether they are really doing that. For the record, I read the documents, but as you yourself acknowledge, two of the local organizations do not include scholarship information.  I personally have all respect for GOTR coaches, so if that's why you're being defensive, there is no need. I do feel that the DC and MOCO chapters should be more transparent.[/quote]

You're right, and I actually felt badly last night after posting.  I don't know if it was one or more posters who kept repeating "I don't know where the money goes", and they'd been given an answer of where to look yet continued to claim they didn't know.  The Guidestar page clearly states which 990 is provided by the IRS and which is provided by the nonprofit, so again the claims as to "where is it" seemed specious and instead simply meanness from someone who really didn't want to look.

I absolutely 1,000% agree with you that information should be public to see how nonprofits spend their money, and I look into organizations before I donate to them or participate in them.  I was simply frustrated by what seemed to be someone who really didn't want to know and instead was simply bent on criticizing what I believe to be a great organization.[/quote]
