Records of non-profit
Dear New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs,
This is a request for public records made under the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
1) Application for registration as a charity by an organization currently known as Matthew 634. Federal EIN is 26-4469899. Phone (267) 471-9591. Address: PO Box 353 Haddon Township, NJ 08108.
2) Financial records of donations and expenses 2018-present.
3) List of members and board of directors 2018-present.
4) Any closed investigation into the charity, if applicable.
5) As to any open iinvestigator for this entity, please provide only records showing the date the investigation was opened and the assigned inveatigator.
6) Any records explaining why DCA allowed this entity to operate in the State unregistered for over 5 years.
The public has a right to this information so it can be protected from fraudsters potentially manipulating charitable intent for personal gain. The public has a right to inspect the financials of any charity operating in the State. Same outweighs any government need for secrecy.
Yours faithfully,
Edythe Salade
