Congratulations to DeafHope!
Hope their spending will be open to widely accessible public inspection in spirit of absolute transparency.
I read about Congressional motion for the IRS to require nonprofits disclosing on a quarterly basis and in by far much greater depth how funds are spent. Should be law.
