COLLEEN LYNN : Population Served = Absolutely None

Now I'm no accountant but even I can see something is not quite right with these numbers ie: they earned $41,937 and they're expenses were $31,726 what happened to the missing $10,000?

FUNDING NEEDS

"DogsBite.org is currently seeking $15,000 to enable us to complete an 8-year U.S. dog bite fatality study (2005 through 2012)." 

So where are you getting the statistics covering 11 years that you have listed on your website?

 Program description

"Dog bite statistical data gathering is the cornerstone of DogsBite.org and has resulted in several important studies issued by DogsBite.org."

Please follow the link to GuideStar and check it out for yourself these people are seeking funding for an unfinished study and yet they're quoting from and displaying statistics covering a period 3 years longer then the actual study which isn't finished yet!

As you can see they spent over $29,000 dollars on programs but as you can see no real explanation as to where it went "program services" and the programs helped no one ?

Aren't non profit organizations required to keep this type of paperwork up to date by law the tax office calls it "reporting".

It lists "population served" as "none" but that's not completely accurate as I'm sure the ex phone psychic in charge is enjoying her bounty of wine and such.....


more to come.....
