The Hidden World of Nonprofits by Ron Campbell

Editor's Notes

  1. The IRS has revoked tax-exempt status for tens of thousands of nonprofits that failed to file the 990-N “e-Postcard”.
  2. Nonprofit board members, listed on the 990 Part VII, make great fodder for stories about a community’s power structure.
  3. The CUSIP # is a universal identifier for municipal bonds.
  4. EMMA is the municipal bond world’s counterpart to EDGAR, the online disclosure tool for publicly traded stocks.
  5. If you know the CUSIP, you can enter it here. Or click on the “Advanced Search” button to get more options.
  6. The issuer is typically a public agency. The obligor is the nonprofit that will eventually repay the bonds.
  7. A bond prospectus like this one is far more detailed than a 990; it typically contains an audit and financial projections.
  8. The level of continuing disclosure varies. Some release audits. Others say very little.
