501(c)(3) organization

This points out that everyone who contributes to a 501(c)(3) organization should investigate their annual financial report before donating.

I received a fund request from an organization that I mistakenly thought was for a regional charity. That was the way it was presented on the phone.

When I studied their financial report I discovered that they had an annual income of 42,000.000 and that their staff absorbed a large amount of the annual income.

I sincerely doubt that they provided much in financial services to the people the group was to help.

It as hardened me to the point that I do not make any donations on the phone.
