Thank you for sharing this info., it’s very enlightening.
Have you considered delving into non-profits and the “SBA Grant – Paycheck Protection Program” monies they received? Many of these non-profits had significant SB loans forgiven, while their net assets increased 10-20-30-40%.

Read with much interest your NCAA overview. I was wondering if you would take the time to review 2015 and determine how they lost $415.7 million???

Dear Anne,

After having an unpleasant conversation with Col. Ralph Bukiewicz Southern THQ in Atlanta for Salvation Army Kroc which refuses to offer membership rates to accommodate economic disadvantage individuals I made a comment to Col. Bukiewicz saying he makes a six-figure salary. To which he replied I have no idea to his salary. According to him he manages some 400 locations in the southern region.

I figure since Salvation Army Kroc was a 501c3 and IRS 990 filing should be public record. I have no idea Salvation Army KROC had tax exempt church filing status. It better explains why the KROC centers offer services on Sunday.

After seeing your article title ‘Why the Salvation Army Should File an IRS Form 990″. I am even more anger upon reading Salvation Army pays no property taxes which become expensed to the general public.

I am an older woman seeking a safe place to exercise to improve health for medical reasons because streets are unsafe due crime and stray aggressive dogs. KROC is a 15-minute one bus ride from my home. When asking KROC for membership assistance for economic disadvantage individuals they referred me to the YMCA which is 2-3 buses an hour or more from my home.

KROC membership structure does not seem to make a lot of sense giving a family of 4 cost on a cash monthly basis is $60 compared to single individual $40. I was told by a director KROC is reviewing given assistance to economic disadvantage individuals. KROC has been in operation for over a decade there is no excuse for not opening their facilities to the needy. Col. Ralph Bukiewicz claims such would causes them to go out of business.

As a means to get rid of me Stephen Carpenter THQ Kroc Director in Atlanta took $80 from his pocket and added to my account as charity. I told him I was not looking for his personal charity but for policy change to aid all individuals such as me.

Two questions: Will you do a blog on KROC refusal to offer reduced membership fees to economic disadvantage individuals, but instead refers such individuals to the YMCA?

Do you think the salaries are public record for Col. Ralph Bukiewicz and Stephen Carpenter?

Sincerely / Thank you,

Hi Anne: I was looking at your info on the American Heart Association. It appears to be outdated and incorrect – the salary you have listed for the CEO is $40M … but their 990 lists it as about $3? Haven’t looked deeply at the other info but that really jumped out at me. Figured you would want to try to make it accurate.

Since 2003, when I founded Teens Against Drunk Driving (TADD), then combined TADD with newly formed charity, that i also founded http://auadd.org (Americans United Against Destructive Driving AUADD) we have been all-volunteer. Educating over 400 thousand youths against the dangers of destructive driving, using our life saving driver’s education program. To see some of the salaries and the miniscule amounts of a dollar that is returned to the charities for charitable work, is appalling. I must say, i never looked into these charities before. i am very proud of what we do with every dollar given to us. Full disclosure, i have privately funded virtually all aspects of our charitable work since 2003. We will have to change that going forward, if we are to reach our goal of transforming the paper version of our education system, to an app(free) version. Sponsors and regular donations we have to be sought out.

board members fly first class, sign me up. over $2 million spent on perks, wow, I need to become a board member. Robin Ganzert you treat yourself & friends well, what about the animals you could help with all that money, fly coach, save hundreds of animals.

Anne, thanks to you I make better decisions on what non-profits to support. I’ve also sent my daughter a link to your website. She is a very active donor to many organizations and was surprised to find how little goes to many. I applaud your efforts and hope you continue to provide this generous information to the public. You’ve taken many steps out of the equation by your willingness to do the ‘legwork’ and I thank you.
Deb

Okay, thanks, Anne. I’m not trying to be a pain, just trying to get a grip on which charities for others and myself are the best to support.

I am very concerned that so much of the donations go to salary. Seriously, nearly half a million to the head of this organization is ridiculous. Too many employees taking too much money in salary. I would like to donate but whose salary am I contributing to?

cut your staff in half. cut all salaries 10% you are top heavy. If you really care about the animals more should go to their welfare.

Where can I buy this in my state? I live in Arkansas, my zip code is 72830. Thank you.
