Review for Warfighter Foundation, Houston, TX, USA
First off this charity told me to go "f" myself. I have messages from the Board Chair and Executive Director...who is one in the same, which is illegal to the IRS. Second off they sponsored their co founder as an athlete. That is another violation of IRS standards because a staff or board member can not be compensated other than budgeted salaries. Thirdly they post the most horrible things on social media and curse all the time. No financials yet they claim to be Guidestar gold.
The Board Chair can serve as Executive Director so long as there is no Conflict of Interest. A Conflict of Interest would arise if the Executive Director was voting on the Board to determine levels of compensation, but there are no paid positions per the Warfighter Foundation ByLaws and Articles of Incorporation, so there is no Conflict of Interest. The Co-Founder who became a sponsored athlete was not a Board Member or part of the Staff at the time of his sponsorship. Additionally, the sponsored athlete received no funds. The Warfighter Foundation is a Guide Star Gold participant. Here is the link: http://www.guidestar.org/organizations/46-3074674/warfighter-foundation.aspx The organization has filed its annual 990 report (as required by law by the IRS) and it is public. Our social media is administrated mainly by mothers and wives of fallen service members. It is doubtful that they would post anything derogatory or distasteful. As always, the organization is conducting itself professionally and legally. We appreciate your feedback!
