Several days ago I was contacted by a man representing American Veterans Relief Foundation. Heidentified himselfand proceededto give me his saJes pitch to help American veteransand told me I haddonated in the past and he wanted to know i f they could count on me again. Well J said, yes. aJthoughfrankly J couldn't remember donating to them. I have received donor calls in th e pastfrom WA StateTroopers. Pierce County Sherriffis etc. and though perhaps I had. After checking my bank records andcancelledchecks I have never donated to this organization. Well, after receiving a letter in th e mailconfirming that I agreed to donate$50.00 and asking me to send it withina week, I decided to look thisWashington State non-profit upon the WA Sec. of Statewebsite. I discovered that their information isvague, they report they sponsorseveral meals a year to homeless individuaJs and veterans, ye t show less thansix since 2005, Furthennore theyacknowledge that they give less than 6% o f their 1,500,000a year inrevenue to their charitable puroposes. J believe this is a sham organization profiting :from individuaJs likeme who want to generously give to Washington State organizations who aetuaJly do good work and help lessfortunate populations. Their website also lists individuals OD their board of directors that also hold paidpositions as staff. I don't think this organization should be allowed to solicit in thisstate nor continue toretain 501 c 3 non-profit status. 1thinkthey should be put out of businessI 1think they should lose theirnonprofitstatus and frankly go to jail.
