As sensationalized as the story about the Harry-Megahan-Archewell-Foundation has been made, I would pose that this story is so micro in significance there is little reason it should have shown-up to anyone except the two royals (ex-royals?), their foundation exec and tax accountant. Yes, the Foundation failed to file its tax returns and yes, until it does, it's tax status is in limbo and yes, it cannot raise money in the meantime.
But are there not plenty of folks who do file and pay nothing despite incomes of millions if not billions of dollars? And what about the thousands of nonprofits who forget but eventually pull their act together? Their lapses don't get splashed across the world!
Do I love royals? Not really but I do love fair and balance reporting and while there are some well-made points in this article like how many board members a nonprofit does well to have and the role of filing, this failure on the part of the royals is itsy-bitsy in light of all the intentional bad behaviors, self-serving behaviors exhibited in a multitude of nonprofits.
World, let's give these folks a break - they have good intentions and are doing well for the world. Oh, there was one article error that deserves a bit of research. I am pretty certain that Charity Watch is NOT the only charity monitor in the US. There are by my count at least two others. Facts matter.
