Looking up that IRS 990 makes life easier. There is no reason for anyone to work for free for an NGO where the staff asking you to work for free because "non-profit" pay themselves that much. An actually cash-strapped organisation doing good work? Different story—as time allows.

I’ve had that exact scenario NGO ask me to work for free because they are “nonprofit”. There are genuinely cash-strapped organizations doing great work and deserve support but usually if they ask, they’re apologetic and explain their situation.

I’m just putting this out there because I’ve been hearing people feel guilty turning such stuff down! No, no, no. You do not need to feel guilty! Your time and expertise is valuable. Donate it, if you’re in a position to do so, to worthy causes—not to salaries of already wealthy.

Getting qualified people to work for you for free is a valuable skill that commands high compensation in the labor market

Now that's the kind of weapons-grade cynicism I can get behind.

Ha, yeah! Those 990's can be very revealing indeed. Shoutout to ProPublica for putting up a lot of them.

That pesky detail. Almost like a loophole.
