NoBull Burgers: The Ultimate Veggie Burger
There are two camps of people in the vegan burger market: those who want a great tasting veggie burger and those who want a meat imitator. I belong to the veggie burger segment and have spent years trying to find the best veggie burger: both store bought and homemade in the hopes of finding the holy grail of veggie burgers. It’s been a long road.
Ingredients matter so making my own veggie burger with beans, rice, onions, spices, lentils, mushrooms, zucchini, and other veggies and grains seems to be a good idea but I’ve yet to find a recipe that makes a moist, delicious, and healthy veggie burger with an abundance of flavor (and that doesn’t fall apart). Frozen veggie burgers have been a disappointment in that most are greasy or have ingredients I try to avoid (i.e. oils, fillers, and ingredients I can’t pronounce) until recently when I discovered the NoBull Veggie Burger: a whole food, real food veggie burger.

Executive Compensation at Americans for Prosperity (2019)
Americans For Prosperity (AFP) is a conservative political advocacy committee (PAC) founded in 2004 that is actually two organizations: AFP, the social welfare organization and therefore a 501 (c) (4), and the Americans For Prosperity Foundation (AFPF), an “educational” organization, a 501 (c) (3).
Both organizations are tax-exempt non-profits with two major differences between them: donations to AFP are not tax deductible while donations to AFPF are tax deductible; and, as a 501 (c) (4), AFP can engage in more lobbying (businesses and unions can donate unlimited amounts of funds) while AFPF, as a 501 (c) (3) can only engage in a limited amount of lobbying because the organization is considered an educational organization.

Where Does $100 to Americans for Prosperity Go (2019)
Americans for Prosperity is actually two organizations: Americans For Prosperity (AFP) and Americans For Prosperity Foundation (AFPF). Both organizations are tax-exempt non-profit organizations but AFP is a 501 (c) (4) while AFPF is a 501 (c) (3). The primary difference between the two organizations is that donations to AFPF are tax deductible while donations made to AFP are not. In addition, AFP is considered a social welfare organization so they can engage in more lobbying while AFPF is considered an educational organization and is therefore limited in how much they spend on lobbying.
Although both organizations operate out of the same office in Arlington, Virginia and share employees, how a donation was spent depends on which organization received the donation. Read more
