If I had a choice, 100% of the time I knew someone was deceitful, or defrauding me, I would cease doing business with them and go find better friends, associates, or if possible employer.  That is, if they refused to correct the bad behavior.

Now — suppose that were the U.S. Government in all its main branches and tributaries, both ingoing and outbound?  Then what?

Ay, that last choice can be a problem, because our economic system (here, USA) depends on enough people being highly invested in their jobs, highly enough such that leaving them was not an option.

And that is EXACTLY what the fake money / federal reserve / centralization of wealth (i.e., “income tax,” IRS, etc.) — represents.  That, plus the two kinds of money — on the table, and under the table.  The “table” generally speaking meaning any more that which was spread by the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) dividing things up into for profit, not for profit (foundation), and government.

The TAGGS.HHS.GOV data, even were it accurate and consistent (which it’s not) would still only represent outflow (payments).

Last post (and plenty of others), I showed examples of how the TAGGS database is not really usable to track the OUTFLOW of grants, and once it’s flown (or has flowed) out who really knows where it lands.  And can quantify that enough to make a definite statement that something’s OK, or NOT OK?  Can you?

I may elaborate a little more on this.

Beside this, also, what I’m actually looking at are only electronic entries in a database — I’m not seeing the books, receipts, or invoices of the groups it went to, am I?  Suppose the electronic entry — and many (how many?) others was an error or a fabrication, and not tied to any real exchange of goods, finances, or services to a real entity?

And we say that a good portion of this country is not religious?  There’s a lot of “take it on faith” on continuing to pour funds in (in the form of labor, taxes, setting aside for retirement funds and pensions, etc.) to this system in hopes, or wishes, or beliefs that what went in will be what came out, only maybe even compounded through the marvel of the extra clout of pooled funds, compound interest, and our leaders’ economic wisdom in planning for the future.

We don’t know what we don’t know, but I will say that my sense is that (definitely) the majority of the marriage/fatherhood grants are going to “Cronies” of HHS/Faith-based connections — and that the general game plan is to raise money by marketing the curricula, while also (for fun?) running cognitive behavioral health demonstration projects on as many people as possible.  why else would they insist on limiting it to, really, so few curricula?

This category of expenses (payments) got supercharged with welfare reform // block grants to states.  The purpose of this welfare reform (whatever it was sold as), I’ll assert is “Fees for Friends” and changing the basic form of government, towards the mental health model and away from the legal // justice model.

It removed accountability further away from individual families, and guess what — there’s stil a lot of talk about Medicaid fraud, HHS fraud — and billing services to particular, individuals’ (esp. KIDS) social security#s that don’t correspond to real services (or real cost of services) produced.

The following grants have no address, location, or DA#.  They’re only (several million$$) –but those are just ones I happened to stumble on while looking at taggs.HHS.gov…  And how many people even look at that database?

This sort had no “Grantee” name so that I could sort and find out how many “tgacfgat.” grants there were.  The first field is an address field…These are the “90LO series only.  One cannot “select” by the specific address and find out what other grants series may have such funds.  I do note that these seem to be “early learning” get kids ready for kindergarten type ones.  This is because kindergarten is one of the more inefficient ways to teach children to learn and socialize, and extra time is needed for this, presumably, and child/care kindergarten is one way to ensure that both parents (or, if there’s only one parent in the family) are not working self-employed or able to structure their OWN time to produce a positive income, but are to be hooked into the jobs/wages/pension (if that)/income-tax-withholding and Let Us Track You system….

Which, for many, represents KEEPING low-income mothers as low-income mothers, although some (how many?) will succeed through this means.  But what percent?  These mothers then can later figure out, if it happens, how to retain work while going through years-long custody battles if there was any criminal behavior in the relationship, alternately, fighting the state for custody of their kids based on any number of allegations.

This was where I first discovered the following list (and all below were, like this one,”CCB”)

This series turned out to be “EARLY LEARNING FUND” (93577, as above).  here’s the total for this fund, per another search:

While I’m on the “CFDA Program Summary Search” page, here’s for 93086- not yet up to a single Billion.  Maybe I’m over-focused on this area, except I know what these programs represent, and are doing to families — and that they are setting more systems to do this more efficiently to families…

(Interesting how no one even bothered to corrected the capitalization in the title….)

Sorting this same series (Grant 90LO____) one also (2nd chart below this one) finds several with no DUNS# which DO have real addresses, and are $1,000,000 grants (but, one cannot “select” on size of grant either, under TAGGS) and many which have DUNS# 000000000 instead of a blank.  Another post, I’ll talk about DUNS#s…

(etc.  here are some “0000000000” for a  DUNS#s…..)

Here are some blanks for DUNS#s: (just a few.  There are others which are $1 million grants:

Here are some from the same street address in Georgia (both $1 million) two different years, two different grant#s, two different people.  Huh??

In this next segment (I’m pulling these all from the single run of 224 results in the 90LO series….), the first two rows represent an entity which DID use DUNS#, and the next two, which DIDn’t.  At least it wasn’t entered into TAGGS…

And another dynamic duo — same address, two different grants, (no DUNS# for either), @ $1,000,000 — and it looks like even the same Principal Investigator — but her name was misspelled once (I’m assuming it’s probably “Abigail” and not “Abigal” intended…  So much for a name search by investigator, right?

OR, some more… no (blank) DUNS#…

I went to (general) SEARCH BY DUNS# — and typed in nine zeroes.  One cannot sort this field by location.   There were 327.  these are the first 50; notice the large amounts in some (i.e., Sacramento, CA Office of Criminal Justice Planning, or a Drug, Alcohol & Abuse Committee from South Dakota.  Notice the RANGE of grantees getting this.  I imagine if one clicked on the grantees, there’d be a range of DUNS=00000 and DUNS# = real numbers.  Again, that DUNS# is a tracking number.  What would all zeroes represent, huh?  You see any single quality tying this all together?  Computer glitch?  Data entry oversight (hardly….).  You want to track it down?  (I know I don’t!)……  So, just deal with this as part of the system, “close enough for jazz,” and in light of all the other fantastic benefits our government (collectively) supplies, such as public education for all, and welfare grants to the states, etc. — we should just not think about that too hard; might lose our peace or cooperative spirits when we go to work each morning and pay into this….

Especially if we are going to work as a “civil servant.” …… (the first few rows are selected for their size, location, (like DENVER)… etc.  I’m not dealing with the other-countries ones, as I don’t know that DUNS status would apply there);

On this one — over a five-year period (and two separate grants) — this DUNS#?  Seriously.  A for-profit business with a PO box address, capacity-building?  that deserves a quick look-up!

OK, here’s the rest of the title of this organization, and what it does (relates to preventing Teen Pregnancy, HIV, STD, etc.).  A link from CDC.gov:   “Strong Teens, Strong Communities.”   http://www.cdc.gov/teenpregnancy/PDF/CO_SucessStories.pdf  “COAPP” (this organization) is a Technical Assistance and Capacity Builder, what else?  Charts focus on Hispanic ,which has a higher teen birth rate than other ethnicities (HHS programs are often profiling by ethnicity, it’s simply part of what they do…)

The Solution

● The Colorado Organization on Adolescent Pregnancy, Parenting and Prevention (COAPPP) provides intensive technical assistance to youth-serving organizations to build capacity to institutionalize and sustain science-based approaches to prevent teen pregnancy. COAPPP’s local partners use a 10-step process to program planning, Promoting Science-Based Approaches-Getting to Outcomes (PSBA-GTO). 4,5

Birth Rates (live births) per 1,000 Women Aged 15–19 Years, by Race and Hispanic Ethnicity: Colorado and United States, 2006

All races and origins

●In 2008, COAPPP hosted a statewide conference in partnership with a Colorado school-based health care organization and three national teen pregnancy prevention organizations (Advocates for Youth, Healthy Teen Network, and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy)

Per Colorado Secretary of State, this group was formed in 1985!!!

Their “Annual Reports” page is “coming soon.”

it is part of a “Healthy Colorado Youth Alliance” which organizations seem inclined to counter the “abstinence promotion” theories of WAIT training (“Center for Relationship Education” of Joneen Krauth MacKenzie, NARME member, and formerly — but let’s be clear — not now — associated with Ugandan “Ssempa” and the “kill-the-gays” legislation, etc…

As seen on the “About Us” page:

But organizationally, is it a nonprofit, or a for-profit?  And why no DUNS# — because its work was cooperative agreements with the US Government?

Please contribute page.  Note:   It says it relies on donations to make it through, and has the same street address as “Colorado Youth Matter,” above:

Donate here to support The Alliance year-round. All gifts are tax deductible and will support our work to create sustainable change and amplify voices in support of comprehensive adolescent health education, resources and services – including real sex ed!

The founder (Lisa Olcese), per LinkedIn is a 1989 cum laude graduate of Smith College (French, American Studies, French) and is into “neuro linguistic programming”…. or more specifically:

NLP-communication and human excellence, training and facilitating, website development/drupal, graphic recording, journaling, writing, creativity, women’s leadership, everyday artistry, gardening in pots, the re-invented athlete, quarter-life/mid-life opportunities, science fiction and fantasy, radical craftiness, aerial arts

Other references (note:  Everyone seems to know, by now, that “Technical Assistance” is where the money is, and helps build a rep too.  You, too — can form a website that looks like a nonprofit and start taking donations; register with your state, etc. of course.  Actual service provision not really necessary…..

(after looking at the website for a while, and finding the EIN# — I went back to TAGGS.  Interestingly, it’s not listed under this name, has one $30K grant, and that grant has no DUNS#).  The grant mentions something about “Faith Community Outreach” and characterizes this EIN# as a “Community Action Organization.”  The 2001 date of the grant coincides with the year Bush established “office of Faith-based” policy (by executive order).  I notice that one of the professionals here has a Masters in Theology from Harvard…

Assets are definitely increasing (Compare the charts 2002,3,4 through 5.6.7.8.9.2010…)  They have some investments in securities in 2002, are all-volunteer, carefully related (itemized) depreciation, and got about $589K government grants, plus other sources.  ca. $400K shelters, $700K hotline and outreach.

I searched ONLY on that CFDA# — and every grant shown has a DUNS#.  Also I note that while most are nonprofits, some are State Gov’t, and that while some show budget year “1” — none shows the grant action as “NEW.”   At the bottom of this list, you can clearly see that money is being moved AWAY from “Womanspace” of Oregon.  I noted this (possibly blogged it herein) a long while back as having centralized and soaked up some DV fundings from other smaller groups — so now, if womanspace is getting grants, they are not longer in this category, I guess.    Again, no longer (if ever) was money going specifically to fund shelters.  Always being steered towards prevention, discretionary, and technical assistance” groups.  . . . .

Women with children who are running FROM religious spousal abuse, and in fact ALL mothers ought to be alerted that some of the “faith community” is involved in the shelter & DV prevention movement, and that their transparency and accounting seems a little less than — above-board.  In my opinion.

Please look at the right column (Shrink Font by View/Zoom/Out function on your computer if need be) and see WHO is getting the largest grants.  Several are groups I’ve already blogged on, such as FVPF (unbelievable blatant real estate acquisition and fatherhood grants recipient in SF, plus name change) or MPDI (Ellen Pence & Friends, including Loretta Frederick whose group (I blogged recently, right?) BWJP is a project of MPDI and is collaborating with AFCC to puzzle over what is — and what is not — really domestic violence, when custody is challenged, which seems to be AFCC’s specialty area, inventing new terms and professions (“High-Conflict,” etc.) and with them, COURTS — to shear down the definition of spousal assault & child molestation so it looks like less of a problem than it really is…..).

I had been talking about “SPAN” (progressive group to stop domestic violence) in part because someone associated with it (Lisa Olcese) then formed (this past August 2012) a “Healthy Colorado Youth Alliance” (i.e.., she incorporated) at the same address as the longstanding (and DUNS-less) “Colorado Youth Matters” (which went through a variety of name changes from 1985-now).  SPAN didn’t have a DUNS# either, but the EIN# for it, as I say, DID get a CFDA# 93592 grant — but this grant doesn’t show up when you search on that CFDA#.

Now, I have a question, how can a “Safe House Denve, Inc.” be part of State Government/Welfare Department?  For the purpose of about $70K — (minus some taken off in 2012)– ??  But it was:

The DUNS associated with University of Minnesota/Oliver Williams, he is known for IDVAAC (i never get the acronym exactly right), a nonprofit based at the school of social work there, with a steering committee member (out of state) involved directly with Office of Grants Administration and Responsible Fatherhood Stuff.  That summary is by memory; you can look up the details.    This is a DV group aimed at reducing DV among AFrican Americans, and as this field now goes, has fatherhood grants elements involved.

This DUNS# associated with this DV grant then, shows multiple locations, including (WHY?) one in Indiana, and one entity in the Billions of grants received….

The one in AUSTIN (above), “National Council on Family Violence” being the largest of this round, is known for the “Domestic Violence Hotline” many of us (women) called thinking we might get some help.  It does referrals.  Some of us believe this is a way that our cases are identified to “throw” them (to the dogs) on the way into family law, i.e., the determination that there are children involved and this won’t really be prosecuted as criminal.  I do find it interesting the amount of money thrown into this (from the start) considering it’s basically a referral — why organize this at the national level, when they’re going to tell you to call 911 and contact a local shelter anyhow?  The grants get larger and larger each year (shown, selected yrs, in reverse chrono order).

With that level of funding, is it REALLy a private nonprofit, nongovernment entity?

There are two different EIN#s associated with the name “Texas Council on Domestic Violence”)

I encourage you (us) to look at this one — with most of the grants in 2009 being government grants ((over $2 million) and salaries, also, high.  Note that three officers are earning well over $100K for working — get this — 20 hours a week.  )

• DYANNE PURCELL CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (principal investigator on chart above) $122,120
• GLORIA TERRY COALITION PRESIDENT $100,450.

(a 2008 return on different EIN# shows Cates & Purcell earning $186.7K (FT) and $126.3K (FT)

They are also operating $113K in the hole this year.  Perhaps a salary adjustment might be in order?  They spent $money on fundraising events and lost $24K on it also…

They gave (to other nonprofits) $101,300 collectively for:  “Economic Empowerment work (first 3) and “Summits.”  Note, two summits weren’t held in texas…To these groups:

And another one (which comes up under the same name-search on the 990finder site) — a bit odd labeling?

(other board members of this — nonprofit?) — you should see the prices:   $50-75/hour; not bad; then it gets into the training & per diem fees.  I note there’s an attorney on the group also.  QUESTION:  Colorado Youth Matter was already a nonprofit (or for-profit if you believe “TAGGS”) on a certain street address.    So why form the alliance at the same street address?  Smith graduate needs ongoing income?  HOW did, for example, this group here (SPAN) help Jessica Gonzales Lenahan — with her family court domestic violence order, when police wouldn’t enforce, and her three kids ended up dead in the back of a pickup truck?  And why shouldn’t Colorado Youth Matter (incorporated by a different person,) have to get in line, and get a DUNS# for doing business with the HHS?)

No results for entity name search on “national council of juvenile court judges”

This is the correct name (notice there’s the nonprofit, and then the “fund, inc.”

The top one was formed in 1975 and shows about 24 changes (of registered agent, etc.) from then forward. The bottom one, see label, appears to have been formed in 1989….

The latter one, you might want to know who its board is showing up as (same head as of the top one): Some duplicates below are because I checked “include inactive officers” — so the word “Historical” or “Active” pertains. But look who the owners of this nonprofit fund are, below:

So, again, why couldn’t TAGGS.hhs.gov get the name of this group straight?

I went to IRS, searched “RENO” and these had the word “juvenile” in them:

“SOUNK” means”supporting organization, unspecified type” (i guess UNK means “Unknown”)

Here’s for the top group (the one that got the HHS $18 million also)– out of year order only because of how Foundation Center named them, I guess:

Organization Purpose (per the 2010 one (where’s 2011?) with Mary Kay Bickett:

Brieflydescribetheorganization’smissionormostsignificantactivities Charitable and Educational purposes include a) improving the standards, practices, and effectiveness of courts exercising jurisdiction over families and children, b)informing or assisting those who deal with or affect these courts, c) educating persons connected with these courts and other interested members of the public in developments and principles relating to such courts, d) engaging educational and research activities in furtherance of the foregoing objectives

$11 million contributions (gov’t not noted separately on front page), salaries, ALMOST $8 million … Interesting… Program Service Revenue, ca. $2.2 million (up $600K from last year) …$15K investment revenue (must be nice), “$29K Other revenue” (see Part VIII Column A, lines 5, 6d, 8c, 9c,10c, & 11e of the return)

EXPENSE:  Other expenses (Part IX, column (A), lines 11a-11d, 11f-24f) – $5.5 million, leaving net of less than $1million.  It must be nice to be able to write off that much income, and have assets at the end of the day…  

Program Accomplishments (costs, $10 million).

D Alan Henry is associated with the MacArthur “Models for Change” organization, dealing with Pre-Trial (diversions, etc.)  They key word being “MacArthur Foundation.” This ‘MODELS For CHANGE” takes a state at a time (seriously) and forces change (or attempts to).  I first heard of them in washington, the are active also in Pennsylvania, including with an organization that eventually (but only after parents repeatedly brought it to their attention) discovered the “KIDS FOR CASH” scandal in Luzerne County.

Gene Siegel of Tucson, is a Consultant (or was in 2007) for a site listed under Arizona Government, as in:   “GOCYF.AZ.GOV” a rather disturbing collection of individuals working together on matters of sex crimes against children, i.e., a Maricopa County Family Court Judge, representative from “DES” (which in AZ — Dept. of Economic Security — whatever that is — administers, I believe, Child Support, or at least the Access/visitation grants; parenting groups, someone from the grants on the DCYF, and etc. alongside (see link):

In attempting to look GCS Consultants up at starpas.azcc.gov (search for corps in AZ), there were so many “GCS” I looked by Officer name, and found one in existence for about 3 years in the 1990s

it’s a nonprofit.  Mr. Siegel (this one, anyhow) became President on 8/21/1992 and resigned in 1996.

Some association with CAC’s (Children’s Advocacy Centers) — see last post segment about the (Alabama based) National CAC (which led to this post when I discovered un-DUNS’d $$ going to it!)

• D. Alan Henry, Coordinator Models for Change MacArthur Foundation Manhattan beach, CA dah@pretrial.org

This conference list (see link) shows the extent and reach of “pretrial.org” meaning (see above, “Models for Change).  The list of registered people for this 2011 (Washington, D.C) SYMPOSIUM on PreTrial programs is three columns and 7 pages long, and contains judges, counsels to senators– I suggest it be looked through!

This group, a NONPROFIT, was actually funded by the US DOJ (starting mid-1970s) at the request of a private association of “pretrial service agencies.”

Welcome to the Pretrial Justice Institute, the nation’s only nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring informed pretrial decision making for safe communities.​
The Pretrial Justice Institute created this practice-based, informational resource for practitioners, policymakers, advocates and others interested in improving pretrial justice. Featured are materials that have been generated from jurisdictions across the country in the course of their bail reform endeavors to reduce inappropriate detention, optimize diversion from prosecution, and maintain community safety.
If you are unable to locate specific information on this site, you may submit questions to the Help Desk.

The Pretrial Justice Institute History  (that actually links to the Board of Trustees, incl. 2 DC judges, some Harvard Law Grads, financial consultant, law profs, etc.  Two of the Nine on the Board are women…

In 1976, the U.S. Department of Justice funded the establishment of the Pretrial Services Resource Center, now called the Pretrial Justice Institute, in response to a request from The National Association of Pretrial Service Agencies (NAPSA) Board of Directors. In a 1975 survey by the National Center for State Courts,** 91 percent of pretrial program directors expressed a need for further training and technical assistance for themselves and their staffs Spurred by this finding, the NAPSA directors submitted a proposal to the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration for the funding of an entity that could provide such assistance. The proposal was funded and the Pretrial Justice Institute was incorporated on December 2, 1976, opening our doors on March 1, 1977.

The 1970s were a very busy decade for these things, it seems….  NCJFCJ was formed in 1975.  I should write it up some time….

**The NCSC (I’ve blogged — or posted in forums, forget which!  we should know about it!):

300 Newport Avenue, Williamsburg VA 23185

You tell me why its Board of Directors, in addition to “administrative office of the courts” directors (multi-state), judges, and quite a few law firms, should also give a seat on the structure and resources of the courts to representatives from:  EXXON, JOHNSON & JOHNSON, and PEPISCO.  (Just asking!)…

HISTORY

At the First National Conference of the Judiciary, held in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1971, Chief Justice Warren Burger called for the creation of a central resource for the state courts—a “national center for state courts.” TheNational Center for State Courts began operations that same year at the headquarters of the Federal Judicial Center in Washington, D.C., before moving to its permanent headquarters in Williamsburg in 1978.

NAPSA is now (i just found out) 40 years old.  more WDC Conferences.  Why this is important:

Incorporated in 1973 in the District of Columbia as a not-for-profit corporation, the goals of the Association are expressed succinctly in Article II of its Articles of Incorporation

This is about who does, or doesn’t, jail (us), and how..  Get it?  Bail, pre-trial release etc…. And nonprofit organizations are setting precedent and telling the USDOJ (or highly recommending) what to fund, such as the Pretrial.org site relates…  

NAPSA’s 40th Annual Conference and Training Institute took place in Washington, DC from August 19-22, 2012. This conference marked the 40th anniversary of NAPSA and the 30th anniversary of US Pretrial Services. Due to this special occasion there were multiple featured speakers including:

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
• Mark Whitacre, PhD
• Michael Siegel PhD
• (material includes a glossary of terms, might be good to review! see “ABA” or “due process.”)

more taggs “000000000” DUNS# listings 

In WDC:

** a name search “Family Development, Inc” pulled up many groups — not this one.   Perhaps because I included the period?    However this one is getting head start grants since 1995 through 2006, and in 2009, they adjusted it down, slightly:  No DUNS???  All of this is one, single award, too:

Award Abstract

(address says “Good Shepherd Head Start” but Family Devpt Inc. 925 w. 24th street…)

Looks like it filed at least a few times under this name as a nonprofit:

I looked at the 2005 tax return above (just to confirm, this is the same EIN# attached to the TAGGS group, above).  TAGGS said it got, for this year,

but the tax return above says it got only $104,028 (page 1 of return).  however, on Schedule  A (Part IV) it’s showing ca. $4 million of grants each year for previous years….  All the officers and key employees are listed as spending 0 hr/week at the job and being paid 0.  Books are in the care of “Carl Mace.”  Unbelievable!

Above, re: that “CA ST OFFICE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLANNING” — I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CLICKED ON.  This includes some Family Violence Prevention Services (chunks of money — $4, $6 million a year) and “mentoring children of prisoners” etc.  “Children’s Justice Act.”

This is the California Department of Justice.
