Rancho Mirage Nonprofits and Charities

We have been assisting Ari Had a Dream for about a year now, helping to get the word out about their services. Carrol and her team are wonderful to work with, and they truly have the best interests of the animals and their owners at heart. Ari Had a Dream offers a very valuable service to those in need, and we applaud their efforts for our community.

We are so thankful to have found Ramina and Head2Heart! What a wonderful, enriching program for kids of all ages and abilities. Our son is on the spectrum and has been welcomed with open arms and given the respect and care that every child deserves. Our (neurotypical) daughter is also thriving here, and we are just so grateful. We would highly recommend Head2Heart for any family looking for a non-traditional educational experience for their children where they will receive the kind of one-on-one support that dreams are made of. Thank you to Ramina and all the wonderful staff for taking such good care of our children! What a blessing you are to this community.

My husband and I are friends with the founders of this fund. And we are donors and remain very impressed with the good that this charity does. With NO overhead or board salaries, 100% of the donations to the fund go directly to the village and to their work there. We are now in the process of getting donations from our large group of feigns and families... to further enlarge what this fund is able to do. It is amazing just how far the donations go in Cambodia.

When I saw what Kenny Dickerson of River of Hope was doing for the residents of Duroville. I was amazed! He showed and explained to me a comprehensive plan to reinvigorate the community on all levels. The project is incredible. I wish the River of Hope the best of luck on this wonderful project. Keep up the good work! Gabriel Rivera Green Bay Group, LLC

communication was non existent????????????.<br>my mother was sent to a nursing home without any communication with her family.<br>it was sub standard and way below the standard her insurance would allow.<br>now we have to find a decent place on our own.<br>do the case managers have a vested interest in reducing insurance cost or taking kick backs from nursing homes?

How is it that the CEO who owns the 'Bone Smart' website/message board needs over a million a year to finance that? Seriously, it does not cost a fraction of that much to run a website and message board unless of course the excess 'expenses' associated with it go toward SALARY. His status as 'non profit' is also exploited by him for FOR PROFIT endeavors such as: jrhamedical.com/ <br> <br> <br> He needs to be more transparent and disclose what his salary is and also what his FOR PROFIT financial interests are for having this non profit org. <br> <br>So here's a guy who's got MULTI MILLIONS coming in salary for his for profit endeavors who has set up a 'non profit' to promote the joint replacement industry (for profit industries) via corporate sponsors and requesting more millions--and from the general public of patients mind you. He's got enough of HIS OWN money to run his website. <br> <br>Enough of these 'non profit' corp CEOs raking in cash like that. There oughta be more TRANSPARENCY laws . <br> <br>---- <br>Savvy entrepreneur exploits loop holes of non profit status to promote for profit corporate endeavors. <br> <br>CEO, Richard Warner has set up the non profit 'charity' corp: 'FARM ortho' under the premise of 'helping people' with joint problems as to help 'educate' them about the benefits of joint replacement via his website and message board; 'Bone Smart'. In effect, he has set up a venue to PROMOTE the joint replacement INDUSTRY which is a FOR PROFIT industry and bring in more patient CONSUMERS to this industry for which he has vested financial interests in promoting. Hence the premise for it existing as non profit; 'to help educate' patients resolves to furthering his own financial interests in increasing the market share of potential patients and with that, garnering venture capital to develop and build for profit joint replacement centers. He is also on the board of directors and CEO of of start up venture to develop and build joint replacement centers which is clearly a 'for profit' endeavor. <br> <br>Hence, I call into question the 'altruistic' premise of his non profit status that his website; 'Bone Smart' arises from the spirit of 'charity' or 'education' when it's so closely tied into MARKETING the joint replacement INDUSTRY as to increase market share while this same non profit status is used in pursuit of venture capital to build and develop his for profit financial endeavors. Further investigation is needed as to which loop holes exist in which non profit status can be also EXPLOITED this way for personal financial gain in the way he is conducting. <br> <br>It is an industry he has vested financial interests in given that he is also CEO and founder of a start up corporation aimed at developing and building joint replacement centers. His non profit 'charity' status aimed at 'educating' or 'raising awareness' to consumers on the value of joint replacement (he has the largest and most well visited patient website in that venue) resolves to a type of MARKETING the joint replacing industry as to increase the market share of patients. In turn, his ability to do that results in a type of 'leverage' where he can use his non profit charity status to further his own for profit financial goals in development and building of joint replacement hospitals (as to garner VENTURE CAPITAL) for such. <br> <br>In that way, his non profit status is disingenuous given it is tied into promoting joint replacement while garnering private investors in his for profit corporate endeavors to develop and build profitable joint replacement centers. <br> <br> <br> <br>
