Donors are a vital part of MSCCN and are definitely an integral part of "who we are".
As a nonprofit, MSCCN relies on sponsorships from employers and donations from
supporters and the public at large to fund operational costs.

A message from Deb Kloeppel, MSCCN:

Donating Your Dollars: What You Need to Know
I receive many calls during the week from potential donors who want to know
everything possible about the MSCCN's mission, infra-structure and successes.
During these information gathering conversations, I find myself educating the
potential funder on their donor rights, mission expectations, and "what" their
hard earned dollars will support. I also have to talk about the "dark" side of
some nonprofit organizations who remain evasive and non-transparent to the
donor and the IRS.

Because donors deserve the truth regarding what they're funding dollars support,
I've taken on the task to educate potential donors on best practices of nonprofits
and unfortunately, what type of nonprofit should NOT receive your donation.

Lesson One: While deciding whom to donate to, please review the below IRS link
first. This list, updated regularly, concerns the revocation of a nonprofit's tax
exempt status.

Lesson Two: The IRS guidelines governs the amount of money nonprofits are to spend
on administrative costs. Nonprofit organizations cannot exceed 20% of their funding
dollars on administrative costs. The MSCCN was recently vetted by the IRS and the
McCormick Foundation as spending 16% on administrative costs, which placed MSCCN
in the "excellent" category of IRS standing. This means that MSCCN spends 84 cents
of EVERY dollar directly on its mission.
