One more post on here. I called AG and talked to a very nice operator today. Apparently a lot of right wing has been calling and yelling and yes they are listening. They are taking callers zip codes and their stance on the issue.
BUT, here is what I did find out. The money that AG donates specifically goes to three programs within Girls Inc.
1 -- Operation Smart. Focusing on Math, Science and Technology
2 -- Discovering Leadership. Comminity Awareness.
and
3 -- Sporting Chance -- a program that encourages girls to try and experience different sports. Encourages physical fitness.
That is the AG stance on it. She said they do realize that some people say that that frees up money to other allocated things. But also realize it may just enhance those particular programs.
I'm placing a call to Girls Inc in a bit as well to inquire about resources becoming available for other opinions on issues. If they have more thorough printed lists and the like.
Sadly, the way non-profits work (and I work for one) when money is donated to fund a specific program or element of the program, it frees up resources for other underfunded ones.
In other words, your money supports the entire mission regardless of how the money is earmarked in an annual or capital campaign.
