Downtown Greensboro Incorporated, Federal Tax Returns

Are you aware that DGI may have access to your personal credit ratings? From DGI's 2004 Federal Tax Returns:

"FORM 990, PART VI - NAMES OF RELATED ORGANIZATIONS

DOWNTOWN GREENSBORO FOUNDATION
DOWNTOWN GREENSBORO IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION
GREATER GREENSBORO MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
CREDIT BUREAU OF GREATER GREENSBORO, INC .

To be honest, I don't know the Federal definition of "related organizations" but perhaps someome reading will see fit to share.

In 2005, DGI gave $156,539.oo to the Downtown G'boro Improvement Corp-- another name for Downtown Greensboro Inc. I think. And what is "residential management" and who got that check for $146,473.oo?

I'm not an accountant and I don't play one on TV but paying money to yourself seems kind of fishy to me.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do know I'm a poet.

Want to go poking around through the Federal tax returns of a few non profit foundations on you own? That was the link.

Downtown Greensboro Foundation Board Of Directors

Perhaps you've never heard of the Downtown Greensboro Foundation? They were new to me until I began preparing this report and a friend sent me the links. They're the folks who manage the ice rink in Center City Park, a privately owned, tax exempt park belonging to former Mayor Jim Melvin's Bryan Foundation, managed by Action Greensboro and staffed and maintained with taxpayer dollars by the City of Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department. The Downtown Greensboro Foundation recently got a $4000 grant from The Community Foundation and was founded solely to provide services to Downtown Greensboro Inc.

Are you confused yet? Sorry, I'm learning as I go.

The 2011 Board of Directors of the Downtown Greensboro Foundation can be found here, reports here. It's the exact same board as that of Downtown Greensboro Inc., whose board can be found here. Wonder why that is?

Filings for DGI can be found here. My apologies for not being able to locate this information before posting Downtown Greensboro Incorporated Board of Directors.

Is this how money gets laundered squandered?
