When I saw this, I just knew I had to post this to my blog as it pertained to the WAO case! If you've been reading this blog, then you know that for the most part, animal sanctuaries are NOT transparent!
Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS)
August 29, 2013
Anderson Cooper on his show tonight made clear what he thinks of nonprofits that make their employees sign confidentiality statements (presumably about the inner workings of the charity itself); nonprofits that take in large amounts of money but spend a small percent directly on their mission; and nonprofits that call part of what professional fundraisers (telemarketers in this case) do as "program services" of some type, such as education. Nonprofits are increasingly called upon to be transparent. Make sure you'd be glad to see CNN at your door.
More light needs to be shined on how non-profits operate in the United States -- but sadly, I doubt this will ever happen because if people knew the truth about how most sanctuaries operated, donations would dry up rather quickly.
