  1. By the way, for anyone that cares, here is the legal definition and description of what a Non-Profit is- A corporation or an association that conducts business for the benefit of the general public without shareholders and without a profit motive. Nonprofit corporations differ from profit-driven corporations in several respects. The most basic difference is that nonprofit corporations cannot operate for profit. That is, they cannot distribute corporate income to shareholders. The funds acquired by nonprofit corporations must stay within the corporate accounts to pay for reasonable salaries, expenses, and the activities of the corporation. If the income of a corporation inures to the personal benefit of any individual, the corporation is considered to be profit driven. Salaries are not considered personal benefits because they are necessary for the operation of the corporation. An excessive salary, however, may cause a corporation to lose its nonprofit status.
  2. I currently run a small Non-Profit theater company and I have woked for Non-Profits for most of my adult life. I think for some Non-profits, the larger you get, the further you get away from you mission and that is where things get dicey. We have a focused mission for providing theater arts and theater arts education to the community with one of our focuses on bringing theatre to kids through classes, in school perfromances and Theatre for Young Audiences Productions. If we get away from that, then we aren't achieving our mission. Obviously, it looks like Arod's charity isn't doing what it is supposed to and that sucks for all Non-Profits because most people only hear about the big organizations, not the thousands of small 501 © (3)'s that are working their asses off for the greater good of their community The organization that I run now runs on the most shoe string of budgets ( I am the Artistic director and President of the Board and receive zero pay, our actors receive a Stipend and our teachers are paid. The rest is primarily volunteer). If it wasnt for our tax exempt satus, we would be screwed. There are plenty of large Non-Profits that pay their high up staff quite a large salary, but the law says they are allowed to recieve a fair and reasonable salary based on their job description. Sometimes I think that is unfair when the low end staff is struggling to make rent because they are working in a field they love. Sadly, I think it is true hat a lot of these large charities that are started by sports figures, celebrities and the like are meerely a way to hide funds, make more money or re-direct their earnings to not pay taxes and that sucks.

  5. Didn't Torii spend a lot of time sitting next to Sosh, supposedly talking about coaching and managing? If Wells has a thought of being a coach, this seems like a cool thing. Wells might make an ok coach someday
