Input from list members requested. Am I the only one skeptical about this "foundation?" I don't think it passes the "smell" test. If any others have checked it out, I'd like to know what you think. Nothing is disclosed as to who they are (see "about us"). The parent org is a 501(c) (3). This org is a "program" under it. This "foundation" puts out an Annual Report?! If I'm getting the drift or whiff of what's going on here, the educational director or whatever she's called is going to hit the speaker circuit and peddle our stories, and also print whatever she/they feel like gleaning from them after you give up all and I mean ALL your rights and sell the publications. Clearly this program or "foundation" is for profit, and it appears to be a scam--which I fear is putting it mildly.
