[net.space] National Space Institute financial report

Howard.Gayle@cmu-cs-g.arpa (09/08/84)

After seeing a post about the National Space Institute on this
bboard a few weeks ago, I wrote to them for information, an
annual report, and a financial statement.  I just received a
letter stating that they do not disclose their annual report or
financial statement.  No reason was given.  Not-for-profit
organizations routinely provide financial statements to potential
contributors, so NSI's policy seems rather unusual and
unfortunate.  Even though I agree completely with their aims, I
don't intend to give them any money without knowing how much of
it will actually be spent on space, and how much on fund raising,
administration, and other overhead.  If any of you have access to
a financial summary, I would appreciate a copy, but please, no
flames.
