Non-profits.  A gentle reminder that "non-profit" is a tax phrase, not a vow of poverty.  For instance, any number of non-profits are devoted to creating Domestic Violence "Awareness" begging the question, "Who isn't aware?"  But there's so much more to learn.        

Before donating make sure non-profit passes muster.

Check the financials. 

How much is spent for acutal services, as opposed to spending for "fundraising" and staff.

Also consider how much is spent on "Bank charges" which is an indicator of sloppy record keeping.

View with extreme caution any site that does not list their annual reporting on the main page.

And know that the domestic violence industry is financially, a very good career move.

Consider San Diego's Gael Strack.  In
2007 Strack was paid $155,000.00 by the National Family Justice Center Alliance Foundation.

Foundations prove the domestic violence industry has room for a very good living.  However, it's worth noting the Family Justice Center is against GPS with Victim Notification.  Possibly due to the fact monies would be spent on the technology rather than  salaries.

The Family Justice Center

Missing from the "one-stop" shop" tag line?  No one wanted to discuss "due process."  Then there were other things.  Such as performance....and that Casey Gwinn hired fake therapist Susan Griffin, now of "Hannah's House" to oversee all supervised visitation services, after San Diego Magazine's cover story expose which revealed her phony credentials.  The County's subsequent audit resulted in her canceling contracts and returning funds.  Instead of being charged with fraud, Gwinn, then city attorney Gwinn, hired Griffin to oversee all supervisived visitation facilities in San Diego.   

Gwinn now hires himself out as a domestic violence consultant. 

San Diego might begin to take domestic violence seriously only when the grant money gravy train stops.   But the record isn't good.

2003
Lawsuit alleges cover up.

And more problems

2004
Casey Gwinn made a healthy profit.

2006
Is the CEO competent?

More problems.

And lets not forget Gwinn's role in San Diego's pension scandal in which the Kroll Report, (which was mostly a white-wash) stated:

"The report also blamed 26 city officials – including former city managers Jack McGrory and Michael Uberuaga and former City Attorney Casey Gwinn – for wrongdoing that ranged from simple negligence to breaking securities laws. "

Update:  September 26, 2011

Just in time for Domestic Violence Awarness month -

San Diego stalker and one time "Officer of the Year" Sgt. Ken Davis, 
pleads guilty to stalking in a plea agreement that allows Davis to keep his job and his gun.

Making the continued point domestic violence is a hugely profitable industry, using the targets as marketing opportunities, while it continues.
