“Financial records show that as of January 2017 there were more than $50,000 in the account.”
If you know specifics, then share them.
I know how non profit institutions work. A fund, which is really just a number, unless there is some sort of contract in place, can be appropriately disbursed in flexible ways. If a fund that was intended to be used regularly, was not used for a few years, for whatever reason, then the financial people can choose to make up for the neglect and use the fund for it’s intended purpose at a greater rate. It is normal. If there was a contract, where is it? What does it say? Do you know?
What really sucks is when people, who do not know what is happening, make wild and harmful accusations. I would never work with a charity that is associated with an entitled community of busybodies, because these busybodies hurt good people.
In this respect, I have “gone Galt”.
Did you say you benefit from this organization? What do you contribute to it? Surely you must contribute something!
I’m reading the article; that was a direct quote. Also, the money was put into an endowment fund; the principle ought to still be there.
Quoting:
“Special Olympics Oregon told KEZI 9 News that roughly $14,000 from the account has been found, but that’s far less than the $50,000 documents show was in the account at the end of 2016.”
