Charity’s undoing
The article about the Montalban Foundation having its status suspended for not filing required reports with the state of California [“Montalban Foundation Out of Business, for Now,” June 15] was disturbing.
Co-founder Jerry Velasco asked, “Why didn’t anybody tell us about this?”
Actually, it is the job of the leader of a charity to know such things.
The other officers and the members of the board of directors should also know that they have legal obligations to the state and federal governments when they operate a tax-exempt nonprofit.
