  • Annual Report on Charitable Solicitations
    COLORADO SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE ANNUAL REPORT ON CHARITABLE SOLICITATIONS 2003 Part 2 Part Two of the 2003 Annual Report provides summary financial information for all charitable organizations that filed financial reports covering any period that ended in 2002. Information believed to be of particular interest to potential donors has been excerpted from the complete financial report for each organization. On the revenue side, only Total Revenue and Contributions are displayed in the report. Each organization’s complete financial report includes additional revenue categories for Government Grants, Program Service Revenue, Investments, Special Events and Activities, Sales, and Other Expenses. On the expense side, the report displays Total Expenses, Program Services Expenses, Administration-Management-General Expenses, and Fundraising Expenses. Each organization’s complete financial report also includes expense categories for Payments to Affiliates and Other Expenses, which are not reflected in this report. The financial information displayed is information that was on file with the Secretary of State’s office as of noon, December 19, 2003. Since financial reports are due by the 15th day of the fifth month following the close of an organization’s fiscal year, the due dates vary. Nevertheless, the last 2002 reports due were those of calendar year organizations, whose accounting periods ended on Dec. 31, 2002. The due date for calendar year organizations was May 15, 2003. Since up to two extensions of the deadline may be requested by a charitable organization (three months each), all 2002 financial reports were due by Nov. 15, 2003, at the latest. For a number of reasons, it is possible that a charitable organization could be registered now, despite not being listed in Part Two of the 2003 Annual Report.

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 1113. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/1113 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/1113 For more information, please contact [email protected]. CPAC: The Origins and Role of The Conference in the Expansion and Consolidation of the Conservative Movement, 1974-1980 Abstract The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is an annual event that brings conservative politicians, public intellectuals, pundits, and issue activists together in Washington, DC to discuss strategies for achieving their goals through the electoral and policy process. Although CPAC receives a great deal of attention each year from conservative movement activists and the news outlets that cover it, it has attracted less attention from scholars. This dissertation seeks to address the gap in existing knowledge by providing a fresh account of the role that CPAC played in the expansion and consolidation of the conservative movement during the 1970s. Audio recordings of the exchanges that took place at CPAC meetings held between 1974 and 1980 are transcribed and analyzed. The results of this analysis show that during the 1970s, CPAC served as an important forum where previously fragmented single issue groups and leaders of the Old Right and New Right coalitions were able to meet, share ideas, and coordinate their efforts.
