Be wary of nonprofit organizations, they're plagued with exploitation and nepotism

I noticed this sub talks about corporations a lot but it's also important to watch for shady nonprofits.

Also, not all nonprofits are shady, a lot are though.


For a while, I used to work in the nonprofit field. In nonprofit, you are paid less because part of the 'payment' is in the mission of the organization while the administration is paid like crazy. They pretty much exploit your passions so they can keep paying you less and abusing you more.

For instance, my first nonprofit job was $39k a year, the VP of my department was getting paid a little more than 200k + bonuses and he was managing a department of 14 people, half of them being entry level employees.

Nepotism, nonprofits are especially susceptible to it. The admin team are able to promote and hire unqualified individuals just because they are friends/related/go to the same church. In another department in the nonprofit I worked at, there was a lady who managed an entire department. She hired only her friends and relatives for a pretty important position. On average, each of the positions she hired for paid 110k a year and given in unqualified individuals. The VP of our department, the one getting paid 200k+ bonus, was hired by the CEO even though he is severally unqualified for the role. For example, he asked me where he can find the serial number on his iPhone; this guy is the VP of IT.

I always thought nonprofits were shining examples of what could be but it's nothing but disappointment.

Let's not forget nonprofit employees and the toxic culture of nonprofit organizations.

Hey all. This post is for all my nonprofit people that are burned the fuck out. I’d really like to hear your stories- below is mine!

When I graduated from college, I got a job at the same place I interned at. A Children’s Museum. I managed events and volunteers. The role was originally two separate jobs that they combined into one. Don’t you love it when they do that?

Like most people fresh out of college, I blew past all the red flags. I made 12 bucks an hour with no benefits. I did try to counteroffer with 15 dollars an hour during my interview. The CEO insisted β€œthey just didn’t have the funds right now.”

I was working my ass off. Everyone else was too. The guilt of disappointing children and families with a subpar event or disorganized gallery was huge. Everything needed to be the best! Not to mention, if you slacked – your fellow coworkers suffered. This type of chaotic, exhausting, always-behind environment is the norm in nonprofits.

After the first year we hired a new museum educator. She revealed to me that she was making 14 dollars an hour. Then I found out all the coordinators were making more than I was.

I asked for a raise during my year-end job review. My boss was pissed. She told the board president what I had done. The board president had a meeting with the whole staff and told us that we did what we did β€œout of the goodness of our hearts” and β€œwe did this for our passion, for helping the kids, not for money.” It’s funny because this guy was the CFO of a major corporation, he was making three figures easily. Looking back, it is so cringy he said all of this to us.

I just wanted to get paid the same amount as everyone else. I couldn’t even afford to rent a freaking apartment, I had to live with my parents.

The responsibility on my shoulders seemed enormous. I kept telling my boss that I was burning out, I needed help, I couldn’t do all this on my own. I became resentful and negative. I stayed at the museum from 9am to 9pm.

Then one day I woke up and the stress was crushing. I couldn’t get out of bed. I wanted to, but my body wouldn’t let me. I had never experienced anything like it. I couldn’t do it anymore. I called in that day and planned my exit strategy.

After I left, I realized I made a lot of mistakes concerning my well-being. No one should feel like an entire nonprofit is on their shoulders. No one should feel guilty for disappointing the community. I constantly went back and forth after I left thinking: β€œdid I just put too

What is a Nonprofit Organization, and How Does it Work?

As defined by the United States Federal Government, Non-profits are organizations that do not profit from any source. In other words, non-profits are run by people who have a passion for helping the world. This is in contrast to profit-based organizations, which have one purpose: to make a profit. Many non-profits provide direct financial support to their projects and endeavours, such as educating, organizing and delivering health care. Many also have an administrative staff and volunteer leaders who assist with fundraising and community development.

There are many different types of non-profits, and several are pretty popular. The most well-known ones are charities and churches. However, there are many other organizations, some of which you may not have heard of. These are the non-profit organizations you may be familiar with, including:

US Nonprofit Organizations: One of the most well-known non-profits in the United States is national organizations. These groups focus on issues like poverty, discrimination, and war. Some have branches overseas, such as the Red Cross. Examples include the US navy, US Boycotters, and US Lions.

Non Profit Organizations Within The State Department There are a few examples of non-profit organizations within the United States government. The Peace Corps assists students and other international students, and the Transportation Security Administration ( TSA). The Forest Service, Food stamps, and the Veteran's Administration are other non-profit organizations within the state department. There is also the Green Berets, which are all branches of the Army National Guard. The USO is another example of a national for-profit organization.

Non-profit Organizations Outside The Government Many organizations outside of the government are classified as non-profit. There are many types of non-profit organizations in the United States. They can be corporations, LLCs, and even sole proprietorships. Any business can be categorized as a non-profit. Some examples include animal organizations, environmental organizations, and religious organizations.

How Do Non-profits Work? Volunteers run non-profits. They get involved in fundraising events, promote awareness of their cause, and do various volunteer work. Some non-profits do not receive any funding, but they do carry out their activities anyway.

Why Should I Become A Volunteer? There are several reasons why you should become a volunteer for a non-profit organization. Many non-profits requi

If you're a nonprofit organization who spends more on your salaries than you do your actual program, you should lose your nonprofit status

I work in software sales that deals exclusively with nonprofits. Researching them is part of my job. I look at their public tax records to see if they're a good fit before reaching out. I stumbled across one today that used to be our client but canceled in 2018 due to "loss of funding."

But here's the thing- they generated over $37 MILLION last year in revenue, and spent almost $29 million in salaries. I get it, it costs money to run an organization, but when the C level execs are bringing in $200k+ each/yr, it makes me wonder... are you really doing this for the community? Or are you doing it to enrich yourself and your contractor friends (I can see who they pay out to, too) with helping some people as a side effect?

Is there a law that REQUIRES nonprofit organizations to clearly state their IRS tax exempt status, fiscal sponsorship status, etc. on public facing websites, etc.?

SCENARIO:

A. Here is the link to an organization called VSED Resources Northwest.

https://vsedresources.com

It is unclear whether they are

already a 501(c)(3)

or in the process of applying for their tax exempt status,

or are fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3).

B. At this link, https://vsedresources.com/who-we-are

They say this:

>Donations help us increase awareness of VSED and support individuals and their families as they navigate the end of life. A fiscal sponsorship by A Sacred Passing makes your donation tax-deductible.

QUESTIONS:

  1. Is it safe to assume that they are fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3) called A Sacred Passing?

  2. In that case, why doesn't "A Sacred Passing" show up on the IRS tax exempt search page?

Neither does VSED Resources, nor does VSED Resources Northwest.

  1. Is there a law that REQUIRES nonprofit organizations to

clearly state their IRS tax exempt status, fiscal sponsorship status, etc.

on public facing websites, etc.?

Instead of spending hours searching online?
