In response to "This kind of bothers me. The government shouldn't butt-in regarding what a private organization determines what it gives money to." by JaxSean

They're chosing not to continue donating based upon a government action (the "investigation). That makes it ultra-relevant.

Don't kid yourself that it was anything but a political move in the first place.

  - Some other breast cancer organization is going to step up and look for that money. -- nm - pmb Feb 2, 12:38 2
    - Right. I'm saying it was hubris, that they were so established that they couldn't be unseated. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 12:39 1
      - Hey now. -- nm - MySpace/AOL Feb 2, 12:43
  - The number of people that have announced they've stopped donating is staggering. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 12:34 10
    - I wonder if they'll ever give us a number. like, how much they hurt. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 12:35 9
      - I work in non-profit tax, and the buzz right now is they are getting creamed, and a lot of non-profits know what not to do. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 12:42
      - don't they have to make their numbers public? -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 12:38 7
        
        but we wouldn't be able to see "here's january 31. here's february 2." -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 12:47 5
        
        True, it won't be that granular. But Year over Year will tell a story. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 12:48 4
        
        depending on how much they bring in, it might not hurt that much. the bigger story will be the boost to PP. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 12:49 3
        
        Looks like PP are out about $600K from Komen, but in exchange they now have a whopping story to tell donors -- nm - con_carne Feb 2, 12:54 2
        
        they got it all back in a day. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 12:55 1
        
        Missed that! -- nm - con_carne Feb 2, 13:04
        
        it would be part of their 990 filing with the IRS, which is published online, yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 2, 12:41
Oh, I don't doubt that it was a political move on SKG's part. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 2, 12:24
