Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Philanthropy, Public Foundations

Mission: A third of our youth in the US (25 million kids) are either overweight or obese. The direct medical cost of treating obesity related diseases is staggering, but the quality of life costs are even higher. Physical education programs are being eliminated from our schools at alarming rates, and open spaces where kids can explore the environment and enjoy the wonders of the great outdoors are disappearing. The mission of KARNO KIDS is to reverse this unfortunate trend.

While his organization seems like a winner, I was curious about the lack of recent financial data they made publicly available. In researching the organization, I could find some references to significant funds that had been donated but nothing about actual program spending to support their stated mission. Despite requests for copies of their three most recent 990s as they are required to provide as a registered nonprofit, I have not received any response over the past several months. I certainly hope that the lack of response isn't indicative of a unwillingness to share this information for fear of uncovering an inappropriate use of funds. I prefer to think that there is a much better reason but you kind of have to wonder if they don't put that info out there.
