A non-profit organization money mostly comes from writing grants and community programs that comes from the state. Being that the state is involved it almost takes forever to get feedback, and you have to work twice as hard to make sure everything is legit, one false move could cause you to lose the grant. This may often hold up the process of pay day. People who work for non-profit organizations most of the time have second jobs, with this not being their primary job or source of income.

I guess they think the rules do not apply to them. What makes them so different than anybody else? ACORN will have to change financial managers or presidents in their organization. Everyone else will have to follow the laws, but the ACORN organization will not. This is unfair to other businesses in California and ACORN is totally hypocritical. It is not California’s fault ACORN have lack of workers. Acorn is contradicting themselves. I guess they think the rules do not apply to them. What makes them so different than anybody else?
