[Vision2020] School Administration and Oversight (from the BLog)

[g. crabtree]

Thank you, Ms. Lund. From the site that you reference regarding Logos:

"It makes its audited financial statements available to the public upon 
request."

Pretty much says it all.

Hi Andreas,

Actually, Logos ***does*** claim 501(c)(3) status:
http://www.guidestar.org/pqShowGsReport.do?npoId=690723

As does Christ Church:
http://www.guidestar.org/pqShowGsReport.do?partner=guidestar&npoId=550346

As does ACCS:
http://www.guidestar.org/pqShowGsReport.do?partner=guidestar&npoId=347118

As does Community Christian Ministries:
http://www.guidestar.org/pqShowGsReport.do?partner=guidestar&npoId=100164639

NSA, of course, has chosen a different approach all the while avoiding
paying property taxes:
"This includes the College's refusal to seek tax-exempt status (as a 501[c]3
organization) from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (see the Important Tax
Information note below). This means that though the College is a legally
recognized non-profit educational institution, contributors who give to the
College do not receive a tax break from the IRS."

Gary --

Look up the term "private inurement." It explains why claiming
501(c)(3) status while writing huge royalty checks to members of your
board of directors is a tremendously bad idea.

-- ACS

* Actually, though, none of Christ Church's associated businesses
claim 501(c)(3) status -- they claim "tax immunity", which is a wholly
different (and mythical) beast.
