Top officials with 14 anti-poverty nonprofits were paid as much as $869,900 as their organizations were enriched with $900 million of taxpayer money, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s (TheDCNF) Investigative Group has found.
The activist groups received as much as 85 percent of their revenue from federal, state and local governments and collectively spent millions on lobbying, TheDCNF’s analysis found. Also, half of the charities’ CEOs made political contributions – nearly all of which was to Democratic candidates.

They pay themselves exorbitant salaries.
As poverty-fighters, I’d say they are doing an excellent job.
Poverty pimps.
Good work, if you can get it!......................
I would like to look at their use of corporate credit cards. How much do they spend at restaurants using taxpayer funds?
Well, you have to pay top dollar for top talent. I mean, who among us could wrangle $900,000,000 from the government?
They are in danger of putting themselves out of business!
We wish.
Not just “anti-poverty” groups.
Pro-solar groups.
SJW groups.
LGBTQ groups.
Environmental groups.
If they are funded by the government, the money is free and it is also free from examination and unrelated to any of the work the group does. So take it while it’s in play.
The guy who claimed he was a CIA operative and didn’t show up for work for 2+ years, he didn’t pay anything back. He might have be humiliated during his hearing, but as I recall *HE* was not at that hearing; the hearing was another Trey Gowdy “how on earth did this ever happen?” thing which resulted as usual in utterly nothing. Tell you what, pay me $400K and you can say the most rotten, horrible things about me you can think of, OK? The Secret Service guys who consorted with Colombian prostitutes were not docked pay nor fired nor demoted. They were reassigned. The gal who oversaw some hundreds of VA deaths never faced any repercussions. The SEC personnel who were found to have watched porn for up to 5 hours a day were never sanctioned in any respect.
There is no more meaningless phrase in the English than “hold them accountable”.
Lots of ‘non profits’ pay their CEOs big bucks.

“March 6, 2017; Wall Street Journal
About 2,700 employees of 501(c)(3) nonprofits received annual compensation of more than $1 million in 2014, according to a study of IRS Form 990 returns performed by the Wall Street Journal. This is about one-third more than received $1 million or more in 2011.”
End all tax exempt status. People would still donate to their churches and real charities. I just read that the very expensive, very exclusive golf club where the Men’s Senior Open championship was held last week, Caves Valley, is a member-owned not-for-profit corporation. NOT FOR PROFIT! Yikes! It does provide scholarships for caddies, but it is mostly very wealthy folks spending time with other very wealthy folks.
Did you not see the field for the AUTHOR?
Are you "special" in some way?
What exactly does a non-profit hospital need a house lawyer for?
That’s how they fight their “” Poverty!
Of course they did, that is what these organizations are for.
They exist to recycle taxpayer dollars to politicians.
Plus, they are FAILURES from the get-go.
You can’t legislate out of poverty. Remember the bumper sticker?
“I fight poverty . . .I work”
What LiARS and other VOLAGS do (besides lobbying for even more of your money from Demonicrat politicians) is to settle inadequately-screened Muslim immigrants in unsuspecting communities, unprepare to handle the cultural, health, and crime problems brought by the immigrants. (But, once the immigrants are settled, that's the communities problem!)
If you wonder why there are so many Somalis in Minneapolis, you can thank LIaRS, along with Catholic Charities and World Relief Minnesota.
The links are from Ann Corcoran's Refugee Resettlement Watch blog, which monitors the aid and comfort (on your nickel) given to immigrants, some of whom have turned criminal.
They pulled 14 people with no real talent out of poverty. Mission accomplished.
They have been doing this for decades.
Some of the biggest rip offs are among the biggest faux charities like the United Fund.
