the logic of rating nonprofits

To: dante.monson(a)gmail.com Cc: Duane gifteconomy(a)lists.gifteconomy.org Hi, Dante I'll answer these one at a time, since there's so much here. The critic at allthatiswrong has his head in the sand (or someplace darker) when it comes to nonprofits. The goal of every 501c3 is to get other people to pay for its own operations. In order to be a legal nonprofit you have to show that you're getting the majority of your money donated by other people for your stated mission... period. Like Wikipedia, if running an advertising-free, no-fee website is couch surfing's mission, they *should* be paying for salaries and all the things they are. On Charity Navigator's rating system, this is what I wrote in one of my show<http://thirdparadigm.org/3p_055.php> s: Their first measures are the amounts spent on programs vs. administration and fundraising, based on the charity's own tax reporting. If they call 10% or less of their expenses administration, they get a 10, *even if 100% of their overseas aid ends up in the pockets of US employees or corporations*. Then, if their fundraising brings in 10 dollars for every dollar spent, they get another 10. Commissioned telemarketers are good for this, or the trick of putting a nickel, a packet of seeds, an angel medallion, or a stamped return envelope in direct mail solicitations. They know how hard it is for us to throw out something useful rather than sending it back with a donation. Thirdly, there's what they call "capacity" – if an organization keeps over $250 million or one year's operating expenses in the bank, they get another automatic 10. They write: Givers should know that other independent evaluators of charities tend not to measure a charity's capacity. Indeed, charities that maintain large reserves of assets or working capital are occasionally penalized by other evaluators. In our view, a charity's capacity is just as important as its efficiency. By showing growth and stability, charities demonstrate greater fiscal responsibility, not less, for those are the charities that will continue pursuing change in the future and will generate both short- and long-term results for every dollar they receive from givers. source<http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=35> Then, their final measure is growth. To quote: For charities, growth means first, increasing their primary revenue, which includes contributions from corporations, foundations, individuals, and government grants; program service revenue, contracts and fees; and revenue from membership dues and fees. Second, growth means growing their programs and services. Organizations that demonstrate consistent annual growth in both primary revenue and program expenses are able to outpace inflation and thus sustain their programs year to year. source<http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=35> So charities have to continually bring in more money year to year in order to get a good rating. No wonder the charities I support don't rank. They'd be mortified to have a year's operating expenses sitting idle when it could make the difference for people resisting a military coup. My advocacy groups live hand to mouth. But Charity Navigator doesn't rate salaries, perks, and bonuses. They don't look at how much overseas aid actually stays in the US. Transportation costs aren't factored in, or amounts that come from and end up in the hands of corporations. After looking at how they determine their rating system, I think I might take the inverse of it as a good sign. It also seems that the critic is wrong about the $90K the founder is making. In the 2009 report he separates executive pay from the rest and it's about $30,000 - not much for running an over $1M nonprofit. But you may be hinting at, Dante, the economic model that I'm trying to pioneer, which I call ChariTrade. In this model, services and goods are given freely and donations to global charities are given freely back. Usually these are in the form of checks written directly to the charity but given to the provider of the service to bundle and forward to the charity. I run as a for-profit business so that I can deduct my expenses - so that I'm not paying taxes in addition to donating my time and my money for supplies and equipment. I pay income taxes on all the cash that comes in but I deduct the checks I write to the charities from my personal income. Since most of the donations come in as checks to the charities, I always operate at a loss. That way the giver can deduct their donation directly and I can deduct my expenses, diverting this money away from the corporate war fund and towards the causes we wish our tax dollars went to. As step 2 of this plan I'd like to issue a ChariTrade Ten for every $50 donated, which would circulate in the local economy at a variable value depending on what it's used for. For locally-grown food, groceries, coffee shops or bookstores, it would be worth $10, locally-made goods would be $20, services would be $30, and education would be $40. So those who want to get a UniverseCity education would be motivated to offer services, goods, and food in order to get ChTr10's to pay for schooling. So this would enable sharing at the local level while supporting the global community that's working with people and nature against the impacts of money and corporatization.

Fwd: Regional Economic Communities
by Dante-Gabryell Monson 24 Apr '11

http://regional-economic-communities.info/ ( found via open space list ) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tim Reeves <tim.reeves(a)rewig.info> Date: Sun, Apr 17, 2011 at 6:19 AM Subject: Regional Economic Communities To: Tim Reeves <tim.reeves(a)rewig.info> Dear friends and acquaintances, I just put together a *one-time* mailing list of the english speakers I know (and some german speakers with international connections). I'm writing to let you know about the concept of Regional Economic Communities, hoping that you may be able to help getting it known. The concept presents a complete – and radically new – paradigm for regional communities, linking together commercial, sustainable and social aspects. It describes a means for normal citizens to become joint owners of local, sustainably-run businesses. It then introduces a barter currency, the Grok, which is independent of national currency and covered by the jointly-owned assets. While thus apparently being a primarily economic paradigm, it's essence and motivation come from a spiritual perspective and in practice great value is put on the way we interact with each other, and to integrating personal growth and the furthering of interpersonal skills into the daily working life. The external forms have been carefully designed to be *practicable*. You can read all about it here: http://regional-economic-communities.info/ The first such community is currently starting up in Munich - the cooperative is founded and registered, and moving ahead swiftly towards getting the actual business side up and running. If you would like to help the concept take root in the english-speaking world, here are some things that would help: - Forward this email to anyone you know who might be interested - people active in regional currencies, ecological measures, transition town, and such. - Anyone who has the possibility, please set a link to the concept website on your website, so that other interested people may find it. - Talk to friends about it, subscribe for the newsletter (do so on the website) – and don't hesitate to contact me with questions. - Envision a better future for all, and practice wellwishing for all the many endeavours to achieve that aim which are now being explored. The quality of the time in which we live demonstrates an exceptional development of consciousness. It grows with every individual who is willing to tread the paths of personal growth and systemic evolution. May it bestow us all with more cooperative and appreciative lives — paving the way to a future which we can truly look forward to. *With thanks and warm regards,* *Tim Reeves* Flurstraße 10, D-85221 Dachau Tel. 08131 - 273 653 Fax 08131 - 273 654 Email: tim.reeves(a)rewig.info Skype: timothy.reeves (mit Webcam) [image: ReeComm-Logo] regionale-wirtschaftsgemeinschaft.info regional-economic-communities.info rewig-muenchen.de _______________________________________________ OSList mailing list To unsubscribe send an email to OSList-leave(a)lists.openspacetech.org To subscribe or manage your subscription click below: OSList(a)lists.openspacetech.org http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org
