Weather grew cooler last night, would have been a good time to walk if I weren’t so creaky.
Looked at the website of one of my old workplaces, and am dismayed to see that it is woefully, embarrassingly out of date… then I stumbled across the .org rather than the .com site… a totally different site, even more outdated, older design, not forwarded from the other. Both are full of broken links, both internal and external.
Shameful, and I won’t even go into how many 508 compliance errors are on there. FLASH on the page!
It has contact information for someone who passed away two years ago.
I followed up to look at their social media pages.
- Twitter – out of date by nearly six months.
- Facebook – even longer.
- Blog – dead after 6 entries, and years out of date
- YouTube – no new videos for years.
- google plus, super kaput, of course.
- RSS feed of recoveries, stale for more than a year.
- They’re no longer listed on Charity Navigator.
Looked at the tax reports up on guidestar, and the donations have dropped dramatically. I’ll be interested to see if they got *any* donations in 2015, once the tax paper work becomes available.
- 2014 – $267,401
- 2013 – $515,648
- 2012 – $600,099
- 2011 – $1,008,134
- 2010 – $1,050,671
- 2009 – $1,254,845 via 990
- 2008 – $1,330,819
- 2007 – $1,315,614
- 2006 – $828,343
- 2005 -$707,503
Also ran a review of public tax records (form 990, public access) , and there are only 4 employees, now? Yeesh. Glad I got out of there when I did.
I found this review of A Child Is Missing Inc. Check it out or write your own review of a charity.
