Six Fed-Funded Non-Profits Are ‘Scandals Waiting To Happen

The Daily Caller reports:
Six obscure nonprofits funded almost entirely by federal taxpayers in an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program that recruits technically skilled seniors for cheap labor are “scandals waiting to happen,” according to an expert on advocacy groups.

“The idea of government funding charitable works ought to be something conservatives and libertarians are concerned about,” Capital Research Center’s (CRC) Senior Vice President Matthew Vadum told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “The government’s been doing this a long time, but it rarely gets discussed.”

The CRC is a right-leaning research group that focuses on the funding sources, agendas and public policy influence of political activist non-profits.

The six nonprofits administer the EPA’s Senior Environmental Employment (SEE) program. Each of the six received more than 99 percent of their funding from the government from 2009 to 2013, according to 990 tax forms.
Government means corruption.
