Charity/Charitable Purpose with Commercial Fundraisers - 2013 SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF CHARITABLE SOLICITATION CAMPAIGNS CONDUCTED BY COMMERCIAL FUNDRAISERS IN CALENDAR YEAR 2013 KAMALA D. HARRIS Attorney General State of California SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF CHARITABLE SOLICITATION BY COMMERCIAL FUNDRAISERS FOR YEAR ENDING 2013 (Government Code § 12599) TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGES INTRODUCTION 1 - 3 TABLE SUBJECT/TITLE 1 ALPHABETICAL LISTING BY CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION 2 ALPHABETICAL LISTING BY COMMERCIAL FUNDRAISER 3 LISTING BY PERCENT TO CHARITY IN DESCENDING ORDER 4 THRIFT STORE OPERATIONS – GOODS PURCHASED FROM CHARITY 5 THRIFT STORE OPERATIONS – MANAGEMENT FEE/COMMISSION 6 VEHICLE DONATIONS – ALPHABETICAL BY CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION California Department of Justice November 2014 INTRODUCTION Every year Californians provide generous support to a wide array of charities, either directly or through commercial fundraisers charities hire to solicit donations on their behalf. The term “commercial fundraiser” refers generally to a person or corporation that contracts with a charity, for compensation, to solicit funds. The commercial fundraiser charges either a flat fee or a percentage of the donations collected. By law, commercial fundraisers are required to register with the Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts and file a Notice of Intent to Solicit prior to soliciting donations in California. For each solicitation campaign conducted, they are then required to file annual financial disclosure reports that set forth total revenue and expenses incurred. This Summary Report is prepared from information contained in the annual financial disclosure reports filed for 2013 and includes statistics for donations of both cash and used personal property (such as clothing and vehicles) for the benefit of charity. Tables 1, 2 and 3 provide information from reports submitted by commercial fundraisers that solicit via direct mail, telemarketing, auctions, and entertainment events. Tables 4, 5 and 6 provide information from reports submitted for thrift store operations and vehicle donation programs. It is important to note that most of the charities registered with the Attorney General do not use commercial fundraisers to raise funds. Historical figures show that a campaign conducted by a commercial fundraiser returns to the charity, on average, less than 50 percent of the contributions it raises on a charity’s behalf. The remainder is retained by the commercial fundraiser as a fundraising fee and for reimbursement of expenses. Description and Summary of Information in Tables 1, 2 and 3 • Information was obtained from 924 completed financial reports. • Commercial fundraisers collected approximately $361.5 million in charitable contributions in 2013, an increase of $67.2 million over the amount reported in 2012. • The distribution to charity in 2013 was approximately $197.2 million, an increase of approximately $88.6 million over the amount reported in 2012. • The average distribution to charity from all campaigns conducted by commercial fundraisers in 2013 was 54.6 %, an increase from the 2012 average of 36.91%. Overview of Thrift Store Operations and Vehicle Donation Programs Thrift stores handle what is known under state law as “salvageable personal property.” They may be operated directly by a charity or by a for-profit vendor. For-profit vendors are defined as commercial fundraisers if they (1) receive a management fee or commission from a charity for which they operate a thrift store or (2) purchase a majority of the goods sold from charities or social welfare organizations at negotiated prices. (Government Code, § 12599.) 1 Charities that operate their own thrift stores incur overhead and other expenses associated with the operation of a retail store. After those expenses are paid, the earnings are used for such things as management expenses and charitable program services. Vehicle donation programs have become more popular over the past several years. These programs are administered either by charities in-house or by commercial fundraisers that contract to solicit and manage the program on a charity’s behalf. The process of donating a vehicle usually begins when a donor contacts a charity in response to a solicitation campaign. In the initial phone conversation, the donor will be asked questions about the vehicle. Generally, the vehicle will be accepted unless the cost of towing the vehicle exceeds its value. Donors are responsible for notifying the Department of Motor Vehicles of the transfer of registration. Failure to transfer registration has subjected many donors to subsequent penalties and expenses incurred after donation, most often as a result of parking violations. Description and Summary of Information in Tables 4, 5 and 6 Table 4: Thrift Store Operations – Goods Purchased from Charity: This table lists, in alphabetical order, each charitable organization that solicited donations of used clothing and merchandise (“salvageable personal property”) and sold the property to a for-profit thrift store operator. The name of the for-profit store operator is also listed. (24 completed reports ) Table 5: Thrift Store Operations – Management Fee/Commission: This table lists, in alphabetical order, each charitable organization that solicited donations of used clothing and merchandise and paid a management fee or commission to a for-profit thrift store operator. The name of the for-profit thrift store operator is also listed. (3 completed reports) Table 6: Vehicle Donation Programs: This table lists, in alphabetical order, each charitable organization that solicited vehicles and paid a management fee or commission to a for-profit reseller. (386 completed reports ) The data contained in these tables can be summarized as follows: • For-profit thrift store operators that purchased goods from charities reported total revenue of approximately $106.1 million for the 2013 reporting period. Of this amount, approximately $14 million, or 13.23%, was paid to charitable organizations. Although total revenue increased from 2012 by approximately $11.9 million, the percent to charity decreased by 1.9%. • For-profit thrift store operators that were paid a fee or commission by charities reported total revenue of approximately $4.4 million for the 2013 reporting period, with approximately $165,000, or 3.74%, paid to the charities. The percentage to charity decreased slightly from the 2012 figure of 3.94%. 2 • Total revenue for vehicle donations was approximately $13.4 million, with the charities receiving approximately $6.8 million, or 51%, of this amount. The total revenue decreased by approximately $4.3 million from 2012, while the percent to charity increased by approximately 19.7%. The information in this summary is derived from unedited reports filed by charities and fundraisers. The filed reports should be consulted for more complete information regarding each solicitation campaign. This Summary Report and the annual financial reports filed by commercial fundraisers for each campaign are available on our website at http://oag.ca.gov/charities. The reports may also be viewed on a computer terminal located in the lobby of the Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts office at 1300 I Street in Sacramento. The Attorney General also publishes a Guide to Charitable Giving for Donors, which provides advice, guidelines and information to help donors in making giving decisions. The Guide is available on our website at http://oag.ca.gov/charities or may be viewed on the computer terminal located in the lobby of the Attorney General’s office at 1300 I Street in Sacramento. 3 TABLE 1 This table lists, in alphabetical order, each charitable organization that contracted with a commercial fundraiser to conduct one or more solicitation campaigns on its behalf. For each campaign, the table lists the name of the charity, name of the commercial fundraiser used, total revenue raised by the campaign, total revenue to charity, and percentage of revenue that the charity received. Note: Negative amounts in the ATo Charity@ column indicate the campaign raised less than the commercial fundraiser fee guaranteed in the contract between the charity and the fundraiser.

  • The Evolution of Chimpanzee Sanctuaries in the United States
    The Evolution of Chimpanzee Sanctuaries in the United States Gloria M. Lloyd Faculty Advisor: M. Kathy Rudy Women’s Studies July 2016 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Gloria M. Lloyd 2016 ii Abstract Chimpanzees are native only to the jungles of equatorial Africa, but for the last hundred years, they have also lived in captivity in the United States, most commonly in biomedical research laboratories, but also at Air Force bases for experiments for the space program, at accredited and unaccredited zoos, at circuses, as performers in Hollywood and even in private homes and backyards as pets. But that has been gradually evolving over the last few decades, as more and more chimpanzees move to newly-established chimpanzee sanctuaries. That transition was already underway even before the announcement by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) last year that it will retire all of its remaining chimpanzees from labs to sanctuaries. By thoroughly examining the evolution of these sanctuaries leading up to that seminal decision, along with the many challenges they face, including money, medical care, conflicting philosophies on the treatment of animals and the pitfalls that have led other sanctuaries to the brink of ruin, we can take away a better understanding of why chimpanzee sanctuaries are needed and why caretakers of other animal species are now looking to the chimpanzee sanctuary movement as a model to show how animals can be cared for in retirement.
