Mission: "This corporation is established exclusively for charitable objectives to receive and maintain funds and apply such funds for the improvement of and activities in the Palisades Interstate Park, New York and New Jersey, in cooperation with the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, and for the purposes of promoting and expanding the preservation of natural, historical and cultural resources in the Park for the benefit of the public."
Programs: Funds raised to fund the expenses of improving the palisades interstate park commission's facilities and the conducting of activities within the pipc system.
I was very disappointed to learn that this org. funds smaller shell org.s whose roles involve spraying the fragile Hudson river marshes with herbicides.
One of the shell org.s , the "Palisades Interstate Park League Of Naturalists" or "PIPLON", solicits donations through membership without any accounting, while writing non-competitive grants that pay additional salaries to some of the group's officers.
This and other subordinate NGOs operating beneath the "Friends of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission" refuse to share financial information and threaten those who question the NGO's shady financials.
BEWARE
