Don’t know Who or What ~QIC-NRF ~ is? Looks like neither do the AHA, the NFI, the ABA Center on Children and the Law, and HHS/Children’s Bureau (at least as uploaded at UCBerkeley’s School of Social Welfare CalSWEC) who collaborated on IT, then reported IT as a WHO (2010). File under Fatherhood Engagement Absurdities — or at least, lots of anomalies — 2010
The title of this post I started Feb 15, 2017 Don’t know Who or What ~QIC-NRF ~ is? Looks like neither do the AHA, the NFI, the ABA Center on Children and the Law, and HHS/Children’s Bureau (at least as uploaded at UCBerkeley’s School of Social Welfare CalSWEC) who collaborated on IT, then reported IT as a WHO (2010). File under Fatherhood Engagement Absurdities — or at least, lots of anomalies — 2010. (case-sensitive shortlink ends in -5U6)
It was “on ice” for a few weeks (see yesterday’s post for an idea why) and having been pretty full of information and annotated images done early on (mid-Feb. 2017), I’m publishing it early March 2017. I added some material towards the end, but not much more. One entity that may get its own character assessment is the Buhl, Idaho (address) NYC Park Avenue (Legal Domicile) Intensive Family Preservation Services National Network, Inc.” whose website is NFPN.org and is selling “three tools to 50 Domestic and Foreign Agencies” (that’s from the FY2015 return found at Charities NYS.com) to train direct service workers, doing this tax-exempt. Interesting scenario -I’m uploading several miscellaneous images (most from Year 2002) and the link is to that whole tax return from 2002 showing “Name Change” on top-left, and a number of other very interesting items. Which would take a while to narrate (not on this post…., though!).
[This short section adds those images].
This image is from Charities NYS on what’s now called “Intensive Family Preservation National Network, Inc.” — at least in NY. So Far, I’ve not been able to find ANY registration for it in Idaho, either charitable (Idaho doesn’t require charities to register) or as a business entity (under either name). I’m not finished looking, but under a straight name search, no deal so far. //LGH
X in upper left corner is for “Name Change.” So it changed its name TO “National Family Preservation Services, Inc.” FROM something else. I notice the NYS filing (and this is a NY Legal domicile entity, despite its “Dairyland” (Idaho) address) reads as it does now: Intensive Family Preservation Services National Network, Inc. The NYS filing shows it started in 1992 (as I recall, adding the link here, with two images) as that name and no “dbas” (at least in NY) are listed. The tricky part is, originally (or at least around turn of the century) its revenues were more dominated by contributions with only (as on this 2002 Form 990) about $25K “Program Service Revenues (Part I, LIne 2, page 1). That just about equals the expenses later in the return. By 2015, the return is showing there have been no contributions except a single $40,000 (even) for the past 5 years (or so), and most revenue is from Program Service Revenues. The products they are selling seem to be proprietary software-based. Surprise, surprise. See “Raymond Kirk, Ph.D.” (or “Dr. Kirk” from NC, per website). SOMEONE is being paid royalties as part of the tax-exempt services under this 501©3.

From NYS Business Entities Search (screenprints, repeat the search if you’re curious!). The next link is to an IRS search showing (maybe make a note of it) that this IRS search database doesn’t necessarily display an entity’s LEGAL DOMICILE but possibly filing address. I don’t know (will try and find out, however). That’s interesting, because I don’t see it registered as a business OR charity in Idaho.

If you can view this image (I didn’t provide a pdf link) on your device, notice lower right corner shows that IF we are talking about the same entity throughout, this one was first (at least in NY) named IFPSNN, Inc. not NFPN, Inc. (using their acronyms here just for the caption). Also start date, and absence of any “Registered Agent” or floor or suite# at the 695 Park Avenue NYC address (!!)
That was a “sneak preview” of another subject matter, only touched on again at the bottom of this post.
(End of update section adding NFPN images)
My previous attempt at this title gives a bit of a preview:
2010, report on the QIC-NRF (“CWS”) One-Day Social Worker Training Curriculum for Father Engagement, despite help from of the NFI, The AHA, and HHS and as uploaded at CalSWEC.Berkeley.EDU, holds Misleading, Internally Inconsistent and Inaccurate Info on Award 90CA1025 (which doesn’t exist)
THIS material (now, post) previously located at, introducing, and probably overlap in content with:
“Progressive Language Creep Section from 2012 “Reconceptualize This” post (reviewed and reformatted 2017)“[with short-link ending “-5SR, “]
- Under THAT post, I called THIS post “2017 Offspring #1”
Which, being a clean-up and update formerly concluding a January 22, 2012 post called:
ABA, APA, AFCC, AAML, . . and others: Reconceptualize This! [Some Ohio Councils, Commissions, and Headlines, Incl. Basic Links][Chosen to represent 2012 in my 2017 Retrospective, includes its own] with case-sensitive shortlink ending “-101” (all numbers).
Which ending section of 2012 post began like this:
NOW LET’S LOOK AT SOME OF THIS PROGRESSIVE LANGUAGE CREEP AS FACILITATED BY CERTAIN ASSOCIATIONS**…
[***Referring in that 2012 context to the ABA. the APA, the AFCC, of course, the AAML]
NOW that I’ve clarified (or perhaps further muddled?) the relationships between my own posts spanning a five year learning curve on projects (like this QIC-NRF) and involved entities (including but not limited to those named in the post title) I raised five years ago, as a volunteer public-interest investigative blogger for these efforts, …..
…. can we talk about how some other powerful, well-heeled and well-positioned longstanding entities including one big player from the public resource sector (US DHHS/CB), paying (tba — read my post!) one of the private entities almost $5 million over about the same number of years, managed to confuse a What for a Who (or hope we’d take that bait), and while doing so, got the grant name wrong too? I searched “QIC-NRF” again, and from two pages of results, chose to look at one on the first page posted at CalSWEC.Berkeley.edu and representing a 2010 report.
This is what raised (because the uploaded document– not produced but certainly promoted by CalSWEC at Berkeley School of Social Welfare — cited to a certain grant) more “anomalies” as there was no such grant. Looking closer, I then saw the “avoidance” language (and internal inconsistencies) in the opening pages, and decided to go explain why, especially at $1M/year grants from the public (administered by the Children’s Bureau of ACF of HHS), this was so inappropriate.
Showing Search results for QIC-NRF referring to this flyer
<==The attempt to portray the It as a Who even included — not for long, apparently — a one-page flyer advertising the website fatherhoodQIC.org (as displayed on website starting NWCCE.org. (<==see funders) which, at Hunter College (CUNY)‘s (<==Wiki – Read –it began as a “normal school” (training teachers) and all-women, until 1964. It’s also a public college ). Silberman School of Social Work, stands for “National Center for Child Welfare Excellence“) which flyer looks like this:
You can probably read, but if not, Click here to see flyer advertising fatherhoodqic.org
But once clicked on, leads instead to this:
And a wrong grant # substituted for the right one, obscuring that nearly ⅓ of grants to the entity whose name was omitted from the paragraph providing the (wrong) HHS grant# were TO the AHA and FOR the purpose of fatherhood engagement, per TAGGS.HHS.gov results.
It’s important, or I wouldn’t post it! However I will at least change the background-color of that section and use a smaller font. (A first attempt to keep it in place on the Progressive Language Creep post…)
