Where Does $100 to Help the Vets Go?
Just hearing the words “Help the Vets” makes many Americans open their wallets because we all know the VA is not meeting the needs of the men and women who have served our country, and we want to help. But, if you want your donor dollars to go further, don’t give donations to phone, mail, e-mail or other third-party solicitors on behalf of an organization (they take too big a cut), or to an organization called “Help the Vets” – a 501 (c) (3) based in Orlando, Florida that has one employee – Neil G Paulson, Sr who received total compensation of nearly $250,000 in 2016.

Where Does $100 to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Go?
The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) primarily provides financial assistance (interest free loans and grants) to members (and their families) of the Naval Service although the organization also provides educational and other assistance. Established in 1904, NMCRS is based in Arlington, Virginia.
In the most recent years (2015 and 2016) the organization raised about $23 million a year and spent about $29 million – about $6 million more than they raised – which was partially offset by unrealized gains on investments and changes in pension-related charges. Consequently, NMCRS maintained a net fund balance of $96 million from year-to-year.
Given that NMCRS brings in about $23 million a year and spends about $29 million annually, it is surprising to learn that the organization only gave $2.5 million (about 11% of revenue) out in grants in 2016. So where was the rest of the revenue spent? The Form 990 (2016) submitted to the IRS reports revenue was spent as follows: Read more
Executive Compensation at the Entertainment Industry Foundation
The Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) that is primarily engaged in raising funds and making grants: two functions that greatly depend on the ability of individuals to raise money and to review grant requests.
EIF raised about $60 million in 2016 and spent about $18 million or $31 out of every $100 raised on program, management, and fundraising. The remainder was spent on grants – many to organizations that make grants which can further dilute a donation made to EIF because program, management, and fundraising costs are deducted by both organizations before grants reach the intended program or research.

Executive Compensation at Susan G Komen
The Susan G Komen organization is not just one organization managed by a small group of executives but two organizations:
- the Foundation (The Susan G Women Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc) which is often referred to as the “parent” organization since it is largely supported by the local affiliates (76 in the US and 1 International affiliate that give approximately 25% of the net funds raised to support the Foundation) along with contributions through fundraising; and
- the Group (The Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Group) which is the 77 affiliates that conduct more than 300 fundraising events annually. Both organizations are 501 (c) (3)’s and are based out of the same office in Dallas, Texas. Read more
