I stumbled upon this in a public california charity directory.

I noticed Feminist Frequency has no reported revenue yet on their site they are asking for donations as a charity.

https://archive.today/2THAX

Am I missing something? There are other charity sites that do have reported revenue.

is femfreq asking for donations as a charity and then just directly pocketing the money?

Inurement/Private Benefit - Charitable Organizations
A section 501(c)(3) organization must not be organized or operated for the benefit of private interests, such as the creator or the creator's family, shareholders of the organization, other designated individuals, or persons controlled directly or indirectly by such private interests. No part of the net earnings of a section 501(c)(3) organization may inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. A private shareholder or individual is a person having a personal and private interest in the activities of the organization.

The question is whether this charity is listed as a 501(c)(3) organisation. If she's listed as a charity i'm sure she'd have consulted with attorneys.

Does anyone know Anita's date of birth? Wiki says the birth year is 1984, but I'd like the day and month as well.

Anita received this letter from the California AG recently:

June 18, 2014: NOTICE TO REGISTER
We have received information indicating that this organization may be subject to the registration and reporting requirements in sections 12585 and 12586 of the California Government Code. The following items must be submitted in order for this office to make a determination concerning the above captioned entity’s compliance with the law and regulations:

1. A $25.00 registration fee, made payable to the Department of Justice, is required for initial registration. Please indicate the file number listed at the top of the letter on the payment. Please visit our website at www.ag.ca.gov/charities for forms and additional information. Please respond within 30 days from the date of this letter and include a copy of this letter with the above-described documents.

c55fdb No.304

http://law.onecle.com/california/government/12585.html
>12585. (a) Every charitable corporation, unincorporated
association, and trustee subject to this article shall file with the
Attorney General an initial registration form, under oath, setting
forth information and attaching documents prescribed in accordance
with rules and regulations of the Attorney General, within 30 days
after the corporation, unincorporated association, or trustee
initially receives property. A trustee is not required to register as
long as the charitable interest in a trust is a future interest, but
shall do so within 30 days after any charitable interest in a trust
becomes a present interest.
> (b) The Attorney General shall adopt rules and regulations as to
the contents of the initial registration form and the manner of
executing and filing that document or documents.


http://law.onecle.com/california/government/12586.html
This one's massively tl;dr so here's a couple excerpts:
>every charitable corporation, unincorporated association, and trustee subject to this article shall, in addition to filing copies of the instruments previously required, file with the Attorney General periodic written reports, under oath, setting forth information as to the nature of
the assets held for charitable purposes and the administration
thereof by the corporation, unincorporated association, or trustee,
in accordance with rules and regulations of the Attorney General.

> (d) The first periodic written report, unless the filing thereof
is suspended as herein provided, shall be filed not later than four
months and 15 days following the close of the first calendar or
fiscal year in which property is initially received.

c55fdb No.305

>The attorneys and auditors of the Charitable Trusts Section investigate and bring legal actions against charities and fundraising professionals that misuse charitable assets or engage in fraudulent fundraising practices.

tl;dr Anyone can anonymously submit a complaint regarding Anita to the California Attorney General's office regarding her misuse of funds received by her charity.

I'm new to the whole GamerGate thing, but read elsewhere in the chanosphere that in her initial Kickstarter, she raised something like $150,000 and wound up just keeping a lot of it for herself. Is that an accurate summary, or have I been misinformed?

Can someone familiar with Anita post information, preferably with citations, about how she's been spending the donations FF takes in?

Another thing to keep in mind if we can prove femfreq is a political organization and not a charity (what the whole IRS targeting scandal was over) she would lose tax exempt status and have a huge tax bill on her hands.

Also, one comment:

>>444208
No, it's a business ENTITY, which is something that can be affiliated with charities, legally.

This is where the Kickstarter shadiness kicks in… the business entity counts as a business that can get crowdfunding, and as a linked entity that money can go to the nonprofit FemFreq. However, that still means that FemFreq MUST include their controlled entities in their filing for a Form 990, rather than the Form 990-N for having less than 50K in income (as I pointed out:

>>I found a pdf on 501(c) charity rules and regulations:

>>http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4221pc.pdf

>>Interesting bit on page 10:

>>"Sponsoring organizations of donor advised funds (defined as organizations that maintain one or more donor advised funds), and organizations that have controlled entities are required to file Form 990 rather than Form 990-EZ or 990-N."

>>Correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like if they want to be tax exempt, if they have any links to a formal business, then they HAVE to disclose the funds publicly.
)

Now look at the financial data for FemFreq and look at what 990 form they're filing

You see that? That's the Form 990-N
''
That is not legal

How does one proceed then? do you have to be a resident of California to file a complaint?

Another thing that happened was that shills were out in full force just when it got way deeper.

Another comment (this is a recap):

>In July of 2013, the business was formed in the beginning of July and at the end a charity was formed, but never registered. I don't know how that works.

>Then, the CA Charity Research Tool lists another charity named Feminist Frequency starting in March of 2014.

>The official website's donation page was changed in July to state that it was a charity. California law requires you to register as a charity 30 days after you start to receive money. It is November and the site that states the Feminist Frequency charity was started in 2013 is still unregistered.

>If you read the ED article, FF was held back from charity status for some time because of an artist FF stole artwork from denying them their 501c status.

>So if I understand correctly, the charity was formed in 2013 but it wasn't recognized as a 501c until this March.

>What is interesting though, is that if you search the official IRS charity site, FF is listed as filing an 990. Yet the 990 is no where to be found. Which is what triggered my idea that she is hiding something by hiding 990 forms.

>But then I back tracked as I realized the 501c was started in March of 2014.

>Notice how as soon as SJWs find this thread on twitter that the shilling and diverting from the current issue happens.

>They are here and they obviously have something to fear if they don't have enough faith in their glorious leader to let them stand up to legitimate scrutiny.

We can email complaints to the FTC and IRS about suspected fraud in FF. Make it anonymous, and show that something is wrong on the website (use links, and other complaints). You don't need to be in CA to file.

>What are the distinctions between them?
She won't have a huge tax bill on her hands.

tl;dr 501(c)3 is exclusively for non-political entities. There is such a thing as tax-exempt political groups; they tend to be organized as 501(c)4s rather than 501(c)3s. From FF's website:
>Feminist Frequency is a video webseries that explores the representations of women in pop culture narratives. The video series was created by Anita Sarkeesian in 2009 and largely serves as an educational resource to encourage critical media literacy and provide resources for media makers to improve their works of fiction.

They hit some buzzwords that will take the burden off of them. One of the major reasons/excuses listed by 501(c) organizations for their activities is "hurr durr we educatin da public lol".

Anyway, the only way FF can be branded as a political organization is if it openly supports or opposes a candidate for elected office.
>B-b-but, they're shilling for ZOG!
Doesn't matter.
>Political feminism! Women's rights!
Doesn't matter.
>They hate men, so it's a hate group!
Doesn't matter.
>They take positions on political issues!
Doesn't matter.

The Catholic Church is tax-exempt, even though we all know they're anti-gay marriage, anti-abortion, etc.; 501(c)3s are NOT prohibited from pushing a narrative, only from pushing a candidate. Unless Anita runs for office and uses FF as a self-promotion tool, it's safe.
