Reply to comment by Grass8989 in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announces funding for mental health initiatives by greenhousecrtv

Eh, I think most non profits barely scrape by. Could focus on the big ones, but focusing on small non profits that barely scrape by as is and forcing them into more regulation seems a recipe for disaster.

Why them and not say the billion dollar development or construction companies that cash government contracts all day?

I mean everyone on here constantly brings up the salaries of city employees/civil servants and that nearly everyone is committing “overtime fraud”. Why should non profits, who are also getting funds from the city, be able to hide their financials?

They can’t, and don’t. But let’s not pretend people don’t frequently just say “it’s the non profits!” When reality is that most non profits are tiny, pay very little salary and are filled with people just trying to improve the city or provide essential social services.

Maybe try doing a little research before spouting off. Non-profits have to file a tax return just like everyone else. You honestly thought the IRS was just like “sure, we trust you’re actually a non profit if you say you are. No further documentation necessary!” 😵‍💫
