How Revenue is Spent at Hippocrates Health Institute (2019)
The Hippocrates Health Institute (HHI) is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) (3) that operates out of a 50-acre tropical setting in West Palm Beach, Florida that provides educational and instructional services to teach individuals how to live and eat healthier. Specifically, HHI has been operating since 1987 and focuses on “transforming and optimizing health” through a vegan diet that emphasizes the benefits of raw food. The cause is noble and commendable; the cost to attend which pays the 2 executive staff more than $1.6 million annually, is not.
With 7 voting members – five of whom appear to be related (since only 2 are independent) – Brian Clement, President, his wife, Anna Maria Clement (Vice President) Robert Clement, Anna Helena Birgitta Brand, Solomon Gabbay, Shula Gabbay, and Julia Loggins, the organization is not one that relies on donations but instead “tuition for services” which is the cost to attend HHI.

It’s July 6th: 309 Mass Shootings So Far
July 4th is the day we celebrate our country – the United States of America – whose states don’t seem united on many issues but especially on guns. When the nation’s 309th mass shooting killed 7 people and injured dozens of bystanders at an Independence Day (the irony is not lost on anyone) parade in Highland Park, Illinois, I was in my home where I tend to be more these days because I am afraid to be in a place with crowds.

Where Does $100 to the American Lung Association Go? (2020)
The American Lung Association (ALA) was established more than 100 years ago (1918) initially to fight tuberculosis but expanded its mission to improve lung health and preventing lung disease through research, education, and advocacy.
There are 17 independent voting members (directors) of the governing body although there are 19 listed on the Form 990 which appears to be due to timing differences. 12 of the 19 (63%) are male while 7 of the 19 (37%) are female.
Specifically, ALA works to “defeat” lung cancer, “improve” the air we breathe, “reduce” the burden of lung disease on individuals and families, and “eliminate” tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases. To do this, the organization relies on staff (774 people) so the organization is a non-profit (a 501 (c) (3)) that provides services more than a grant maker (ALA made $12 million in grants in 2020) who provides funding for research or program assistance.
