Hello Southernbell,
As is often the case, even the most arcane sorts of information wind
up having a home -- somewhere -- on the interet. In the case of
nonprofit organizations, the place to turn to for Board of Director
listings, and all sorts of other information, is the Guidestar webpage
at:
http://www.guidestar.org/
Towards the top of the page, you will see some clickable text that
says:
"Search for more than 850,000 IRS-recognized nonprofits"
That's the button you want. Just enter the name of the organization,
and Guidestar will take you to a summary page of information, with
links to more complete information -- including Board listings.
For instance, entering "Red Cross" in the "name of organizations"
search box pulls up:
American National Red Cross
430 17th St NW
Washington, DC 20006
https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp
On the left of the page is a set of links for more information,
including one called "Leaders". Clicking on this takes me directly to
a list of about 50 very distinguished-looking names of the Red Cross
Board of Directors.
I'll also mention a link for many nonprofits to something called Form
990. This is a form filed with the IRS that has a full set of the
organization's financial information, as well as a lot of information
about organizational leadership -- including a list of the Board of
Directors. If for some reason the Board listing is not on the
Guidestar site, then the Form 990 is a good backup option.
I hope this answers your question fully, but if you need more
information, just let me know through a "Request for Clarification". |
