Why Bother To Unravel the Proliferation of Private Associations Representing Public Offices? Well, re: the sponsored database project SchoolMatters.com, That Might be a $10M Question for “The Council of Chief State School Officers” (CCSSO.org) in D.C., Grantee, and “The Broad Foundation,” in Los Angeles, Donor. (Publ. June 16, 2017) » ICMA (EIN#36-2167755, Int’l City-County Managers Assoc’n) either Website or FY2014 990 excerpt SShot 2017Jun11 @5.26.37 PM
ICCMA Sched A FY2014 from Form 990. I’m commenting on the switch in revenues coming (FY2010) $29M Line 2 to $1M Line 1 to, in following years, a more equal balance between the two. I also comment under line 7b (Excess amounts not from “disqualified” persons) that if this does NOT mean “gifts, grants, contributions” (i.e., Line1 stuff) then the amount has to be wrong on either Line1 or Line 7a for at least two of those years. Earlier SchedA (Next image, but not annotated like this one) shows a similar pattern in prior years. I’ve seen this before, and don’t know WHY an org. would want to conceal the amount of revenues actually coming from membership dues — except that if the members are government employees, that’d reflect on the expenditures from that public office. Or might be better traceable from the local (City or County Manager) website. I just DNK at this point.
