As I said, her two websites for the "non-profit". There are 3 newletters including "Novemeber [sic] 2006", December 2006 and January 2007. So what have they done for the last year and a half?

I work for a non-profit. You can still be a non-profit if most of the money is used to pay the salaries of the "directors" or CxO's. There's no rule that says what percentage has to be used towards whatever stated goal is of the non-profit. There is if you want to avoid taxes but that's probably not that big a negative for her. It just can't be obvious that the non-profit was set up only for the benefit of the directors & CxO's or, if they end their fiscal year with a surplus, it can't give that surplus as bonuses to the directors / CxO's. I know our CxO's are all paid over $130k annually. And they never neglect to give themselves a raise each year.

"Many non-profits are operated by either volunteers, paid staff or a combination of both, usually reserving the senior executive positions to paid personnel while the entry-level and field positions are frequently held by volunteers."

http://dogood.ajc.com --> 130 non-profit and charitable organizations (including, of course, the Boy and Girls Clubs and Big Brothers / Sisters organizations) that are within 100 miles of Atlanta with a stated goal of "youth development" and DeShawn's foundation is not among that 130. Hell, even one of her "empowered" girls that DeShawn was standing next to was wearing what? A T-Shirt for the YWCA, not DeShit's Foundation.

Sorry if it seems like I'm raving. It just annoys me that there are so many good charities out there and there are so many people who need the help of those organizations yet there's just not enough to go around.. and then this (in my eyes) poser shows up wanting a million bucks. If she felt so fuckin' strongly about "doing good", she could offer up for auction some of her fuckin' Louis-whatever handbags and shoes that the bitch never uses. Instead she immediately digs her hooks into all her "friends", to decide how they can help her cause; like volunteering them to offer themselves as dates for auction, etc. You don't see her offering a damn thing to her own cause.

If you donate, give it to well-known, trustworthy organizations like United Way, etc.
