So a man who was convicted of nonprofit charity #fraud, over his own charity, is going to be overseeing nonprofits.(Thank a MAGA)

A number of long long overdue stories in the Twin Cities are coning out about fraud through charter schools, autism, and other vital services. This on top of the massive Feeding Our Future scandal.

This nonprofit, grant based method of service delivery is highly inefficient and ripe for fraud.

Our second most read story of the year is our investigation into the irregularities of a Colorado charter school nonprofit operated by controversial Houston ISD superintendent Mike Miles.

Just because someone stands in front of a company's logo inside or outside the company's building does NOT mean that person actually works for that company! Verify all employment claims, even from people claiming to run nonprofits.

Are you a non-US citizen in the USA & you are looking for a way to stay here legally? BEWARE OF SCAMMERS. There are SO many. Make sure you are talking to actual law firms, not a sketchy nonprofit with no board of directors, no clients to refer you to, no endorsement from credible organizations.

Are you a non-US Citizen in the USA & with US degree or its equivalent? Stay away from any person claiming he will help you form your own company to help you get H-1B cap exempt employment authorization, unless that person is a LAWYER, with a REAL legal degree & satisfied clients you can talk to.

I'm the Nonprofit Gorgon. I call out unethical nonprofits & #charity scammers, like those who try to charge people large amounts of money to volunteer, or people who run bogus charities. I named my profile after a notorious nonprofit I hope everyone stays away from. Thanks for following!

So important for your nonprofit to create a BlueSky account in its name, before someone else does.
I remember when a nefarious person tried to create an online profile & web site to make people think he was the nonprofit Black Girls Code. Legal action stopped him.

People who use their status as a military veteran - or lie about such status - to scam people deserve a special place in hell. Just because someone says he is a vet, has a photo of his time in a service, etc., does NOT make him reputable nor credible.

This platform needs more state attorneys general, more nonprofits focused on ethics, and more snarky folks like meeee!

Here's my profile on the site formerly known as Twitter - this is what you can expect from me here:

Do not pay any fee whatsoever to any one-person nonprofit - not for a class, not for a service, not to volunteer. If there is not a list of board of directors & a list of glowing testimonials from program participants/clients, volunteers, etc., don't email that org, don't call, don't stop by - RUN.

I'm the Nonprofit Gorgon! I like to talk about nonprofits, charities, voluntourism agencies, religious groups & volunteers that are scams / frauds / swindles (in contrast to ethical ones). Because there are a LOT of them out there - like the one I named my account after!

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.
