Eight veterans charities received F grades in the latest report
from the American Institute of Philanthropy, a national charity
watchdog group.
Of 21 veterans charities reviewed, the AIP gave F's to these: American Ex-Prisoners of War Service Foundation, American Veterans Relief Foundation, AMVETS National Service Foundation, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Military Order of the Purple Heart Service Foundation, Help Hospitalized Veterans, NCOA National Defense Foundation and Vietnow National Headquarters.
These groups got D's: Blinded Veterans Association, Disabled American Veterans, Soldiers Angels, United Spinal Association, Wounded Warrior Project, Veterans of the Vietnam War & The Veterans Coalition, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund and World War II Veterans Committee.
The Washington Post ran a story today about one of the groups, Help Hospitalized Veterans, which "reported income of $71.3 million last year and spent about one-third of that money on charitable work."
(Roger) Chapin, 75, the charity's president, received $426,434 in salary and benefits in the past fiscal year, according to a filing with the Internal Revenue Service. His wife, Elizabeth, 73, received $113,623 in salary and benefits as "newsletter editor," the Post's review of the tax filing showed.
