I'm not commenting about this charity one way or the other but you cannot hold your Federal 501/C-3 cert if you spend ALL your money on expenses and promotion. There is a required percentage that MUST be met or you cannot qualify. Maybe there is an accountant here who can give out the correct percentages.
