Where Does $100 to Feed the Children Go (2021)?

Feed the Children (FTC) is a tax-exempt non-profit 501 (c) (3) based in Oklahoma City, OK.  Established in 1979, FTC is primarily engaged in obtaining and distributing food, medicine, and clothing to those in need through grants, primarily to non-profits in the USA.

FTC is governed by 12 independent voting members (directors) of the governing body (Board of Directors) (although the Form 990 lists 13 directors, 10 (77%) of whom are male and 3 (23%) whom are female.

In trying to understand how $100 is spent at FTC, it is important to consider what the organization primarily does:  they collect non-cash contributions and distribute these items.  So, if the $100 donation is a non-cash item, then the contribution is distributed to another organization (another non-profit that is probably in the USA). But, if the donation is cash, then the $100 is used to pay for the organization costs of FTC. So, there are two ways to look at how $100 is spent, both of which will be presented in the following paragraphs. Read more »

Where Does $100 to the American Lung Association Go (2021)

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 18 independent voting members (directors) of the governing body;  12 of the 18 (67%) are male while 6 of the 18 (33%) 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 (817 people) so the organization is a non-profit (a 501 (c) (3)) that provides services more than a grant maker (ALA made $13 million in grants in 2021) who provides funding for research or program assistance.
