Not directed at this "society", and I have not visited their fb site:
My pet peeve with some 501 3 (c) is the salaries the officers pay themselves. There are a ton of these groups "Raising Awareness" for different issues, diseases, sports organizations. Many are mom and pops basically creating themselves a very well paying job. Handing out brochures in front of Wal Mart for a cause while securing contributions from small and large donors is not imho worth the $80k that they pay themselves (for passing out a piece of paper!) with no taxes like you and I pay.
There used to be a website that compares the actual funds that go to direct expenditures such as research and outreach vs marketing but I don't recall the name.
I'm interested in how everyone is reading this. I still don't know what they are accomplishing or where their money comes from and goes to. From the small part I see its a nice looking blog with a color search.
