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 Foundationās (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, TheDCNFās analysis found. Also, half of the charitiesā CEOs made political contributions ā nearly all of which was to Democratic candidates.
The groups pursue various activist causes, but each participates in the Department of Housing and Urban Developmentās (HUD) Approved Counseling Agencies program, whichĀ pays nonprofits across the country to help people āfind housing, make more informed housing choices, or keep their current homes,ā according to HUD.
HUD awarded at least $42 million to 204 such groupsĀ in 2016, which wasĀ predicted toĀ assist more than 1.4 million households, agencyĀ data shows.
The department evenĀ has aĀ step-by-step guideĀ that shows organizations how to become a nonprofit and ultimately a counseling agency.Ā HUD considers the charitiesā priorĀ performance when vetting theirĀ applications for the grants, which includes the number of impacted clients, past budgetsĀ and how grant money was spent previously.
At least 14 recipients appear to be national-level activist groups and have raked in $916 million across government from 2013 through 2015, TheDCNFās analysis found.
Those organizations paid their top leaders more than $341,00 on average in 2015, according to their IRS Form 990 tax forms, which is nearly 14 times the annual income for a four-person family at the federal governmentās official poverty line. Meanwhile, almost half of the revenue the groups received came from the government on average between 2013 and 2015.
Six of the nonprofits spent a total of nearly $3.2 million on lobbying during those three years. Additionally, seven of the charitiesā CEOs contributed nearly $44,000 to Democrats since 2008 and only contributed to one Republican candidate during the same time.
National Urban League President and CEO Marc Morial , a former New Orleans mayor, received a higher salary than any other official in the nonprofits, taking home nearly $870,000 ā more than 35 times the poverty line for a four-person family ā in 2015.
Morialās āenergetic and skilled leadership has expanded the leagueās work around an empowerment agenda ā¦Ā with a renewed emphasis on closing the economic gaps between whites and blacks, as well as rich and poor Americans,ā according to the Urban LeagueāsĀ website.
He also contributedĀ the second most to political candidates ā $10,400, all to Democrats since 2008, according to OpenSecrets.org.
The nonprofitāsĀ information page adds: āThe mission of the Urban League movement is to enable African-Americans to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power and civil rights.ā
Offline is a documentary on the inevitability of the Earth being slammed by a mega solar flare – not the common type that interrupts communications and creates a light show in the Northern skies – but the big brothers thousands of times more powerful. These monsters deliver enough energy to blow apart the master transformers that supply the planetās energy grids. When that happens, the lights go out for longer than anyone wants to think about. These X-Class solar storms hit the Earth every 150 years, on average. The last one arrived 156 years ago. We are overdue (

The Govt at any level should not give our tax dollars to charities. That is up to us to give what we want and to whom we want.
where ever you find taxpayer funded govt. corruption you will find mormons running it from a taxpayer funded or tax exempt agency
Really? Mormons? Do you have any proof?
you are wrong, you will find a jew running it, not a Mormon.
