The other discussions related to our list of largest nonprofits, ranked by revenue. The information we sought, form 990, contains information on revenue and expenses and is required by state law for every 501C3 entity. But we found that that a number of nonprofit organizations cavalierly declined to provide those to us. When we do this list for next year's Corporate Citizenship special report, the relatively few nonprofits that don't live by the rules should be advised we'll be going directly to the secretary of state's office for this information. And we expect to press the secretary of state's office to get the information for those nonprofits not on file.
Many nonprofits remain reluctant or indignant about revealing the top executive's salary.
They need to get over that - the information is required by law, and we will find it and publish it. Meanwhile, we're planning to re-run the Corporate Philanthropists list after pressing harder to get information that we think is important for the business community's greater understanding of just what they're bringing about for nonprofits.
