In the US, every non-profit has to file an annual financial report on form 990 or, for small ones, 990-EZ. These are by law open to public inspection, and if you call, write, fax or e-mail them and ask for a copy they better send you one. The Foundation Center has a fairly good online 990 database: http://tfcny.fdncenter.org/990s/990search/esearch.php If you're wondering what my signature looks like, search for Domain Assurance Council R's, John
