Well, all you amatuer Sherlock Holmes. Ever wonder what is really going at your local railroad museum or historical society? Well, it seems we have a website that may very well provide the answer or at least point you in the right direction. Many nonprofit groups are required to file an IRS Form 990 each year. This has all sorts of good stuff on it such as wages, various expenses, etc. These are public documents and many are on the website listed below. Oops almost forgot, the website is: http//:www.guidestar.org Another site that explains Form 990 and the why's and wherefors is: http://www.npccny.org/Form_990/990.htm Keeping in mind of course the 990 is a public document and is information of how that group is doing for the fiscal year being reported. Good luck and good reading. jimhollis@ev1.net |

Got the colon in the wrong place on that first link. See correction below. Yep, amazing what you can find about an organization's spending on this link. And to think, this is supposed to be public knowledge, not a big secret! > http//:www.guidestar.org SHOULD BE http://www.guidestar.org http://www.guidestar.org |
