As I prepare to interview several people about the Non-Profit that I am covering, I thought I would share several things with my readers. Keep in mind that the Non-Profit is the Boy Scouts - Tri-State Area Council located here in Huntington.
Below is a list of questions that I am planning on asking officials.
1) What is the primary goal of the organization?
2) Do you receive any help or support from the community whether it be volunteerism or monetary support?
3) How do you recruit new scouters?
4) I am aware that the organization gets grant funding through the United Way. Are there any other sources in which funding is provided to the Tri-State Area Council?
5) What led you to serving as executive director of this organization?
In addition to the questions listed above, I will ask more personal questions related to the individual I will be speaking with. As of now, I am scheduled to speak with Rick Loudin who is the executive director of the council. I also will dig deeper into the financial side of the organization and find out where money is being spent and where money is coming from. I also want to gain a better understanding of what this particular council does and the benefits that these scouters are receiving.
Below is a list of websites that I plan to visit.
1) http://www.tsacbsa.org/tsac/ (This is the home page for the Tri-State Area Council)
2) http://www.independentsector.org/
3) http://liveunited.org/ (This is the United Way of America website)
4) http://www.sos.wv.gov/Pages/default.aspx (This is the West Virginia Secretary of State site)
Below is a list of documents that I plan to request.
1) Copies of the last three tax returns
2) Copies of the IRS tax-exempt letter
3) Copy of the organization's annual report
Please leave feedback if you think that I should go about things differently. I appreciate all comments. Thanks.
