Following the Thomas Fire last December and the Montecito Debris Flow/Mudslide this past January, a lot of small and large non-profits collected funds to help assist local victims.
Is there a way those of us who donated can see where the money went to help our local community? Is there a law that forces these non-profit organizations to show where the money is going or are they able to hold onto funds without informing their donors?
… All I KNOW is that those poor Montecito homeowners get placed in the Bacarra-Ritz-Carlton anytime a rain of more than an inch is forthcoming… Valet parking and all 🙂
