Would it be possible to change the wording to “executives, employees or contract workers”? If so, that is my suggestion to you.
In my view, if something were to occur that would be of interest to potential donors... Ultimately, this bill is intended to provide people who are about to make a cash donation with the most information possible.
If a charitable organization with at most $3 million in donations a year paid its employees a reasonable salary but compensated a lawyer, whose services could not be evaluated, to the tune of $600,000 a year, then it would appear that such information should be of interest to people who want to make a donation. That should be just as material as the fact that the fundraising director could be earning $100,000 a year, for example.
That information will be made available to the public, but people will never know, for reasons that are sometimes unclear, if the organization's lawyer is receiving $600,000 or if a direct mail advertiser has been awarded an $800,000 contract. There might be a way to...
I am wondering whether such information would be made public through other sources? At this in time, can people find out whether 25% of a charitable organization's revenues are used to pay for legal or direct mail services?
