Humane Society of America's tax returns. In short,it is believed that
HSUS was inflating its revenue in violation of IRS instructions by counting
PSA air time as “contributions.” Bloomberg News on the matter, and quoted
a Minnesota tax attorney who specializes in nonprofit returns who backed
up this position.
CharityWatch, which gives HSUS a “C-minus” grade,
also wrote that HSUS was violating IRS rules.
And it seems HSUS is now admitting guilt, so to speak.
On Page 1 of its latest return, HSUS lists different—much lower—figures for 2011.
The “contributions and grants” received by HSUS dropped $17.7 million—the
exact same amount that HSUS was counting as PSA “contributions.”
In short, HSUS has
some vegan egg-substitute
on its face !
Despite what the the tear wrenching ads and pleas for help lead you to believe,
this organization blows whopping 55% of it's budget on overhead and a measly
1% of its contributions actually reach shelters in the areas they are contributed in !
Please do not be taken in by slick (expensive) advertising, if you really want to
help animals, donate your hard earned time or money directly to a local shelter !
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS ORGANIZATION SHARES ITS NAME/PARTs OF ITS NAME
WITH MANY UNAFFILIATED RESCUES AND SHELTER GROUPS THAT ARE NOT PART OF
THIS COMPLAINT OR EVEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE MAIN ORGANIZATION.
