The National Rosacea Society released Form 990
to the public recently and the total spent on
rosacea research for 2003 was up from previous
years and reached $101,158 which is over a
quarter of the total spent in the past six years!
For the past six years the NRS has received in
donations a total of $5,013,338 and spent a
total of $378,315 on rosacea research. That
means that less than 8% of total donations was
spent on research. That means that of every dollar
donated to the NRS less than eight cents is spent
on research and the rest is used to run the
organization and provide the services mentioned
on the NRS website - rosacea.org. An interesting
expense is mentioned in Part II - Compensation
Paid to the Five highest paid independent contractors
for professional services to Glendale Communications
Group, Inc. owned by Samuel B. Huff, the Director of
the National Rosacea Society. The total amount given
to Glendale Communications Group, Inc. for the last
six years amounted to $3,003,194.
