i am also interested in this info
the financial status of each organization interests me too
my understanding of the pd orgs in canada, the uk, and australia
is that they are set up as non-profit entities
and thereby subject to local government restrictions
in the ways they are permitted to raise and distribute funds

MONEY
Money is a kind of poetry.
-WALLACE STEVENS
Money, the long green,
cash, stash, rhino, jack
or just plain dough.
Chock it up, fork it over,
shell it out. Watch it
burn holes through pockets.
To be made of it! To have it
to burn! Greenbacks, double eagles,
megabucks and Ginnie Maes.
It greases the palm, feathers a nest,
holds heads above water,
makes both ends meet.
Money breeds money.
Gathering interest, compounding daily.
Always in circulation.
Money. You don't know where it's
been,
but you put it where your mouth is.
And it talks.
Dana Gioia
From The Gods of Winter
