Re: CeaseFirePA working against towns and cities fighting gun violence
For FY 16, Ceasefire PA reports total income of $722K, of which $439K was spent on salaries. Officers are Nancy Gordon, Nancy Grogan, Nickolas Certo, and Shawn Kraemer. Executive Director Shira Goodman draws a salary of $108K. Outreach and education programs, which is their primary mission, account for $111K of total spending. Their balance sheet shows $623K in cash an hand at end of FY16. The most recent year appears to be their biggest ever: income in 2011 was only $432K. They report $45K in lobbying activities for last year.

Re: CeaseFirePA working against towns and cities fighting gun violence
Looking at this from a different approach...
I have proposed to my township PD a program which would allow the PD to give our local townspeople instruction on gun handling, the law and CC. Instead of fighting a few Liberal trolls, why not focus on educating the masses and offering instruction?
Ceasefire PA is a small, no nothing organization. We need to counter their activities with a measure which will not only educate people, but also give them a legal, law abiding solution/lesson on guns.
I am writing this proposal and will be submitting to our PD within the next few weeks. I would suggest we have other members of PAFOA do the same within their own locales.
I think being proactive is going to bear more fruit than being reactive. What say you?

Re: CeaseFirePA working against towns and cities fighting gun violence
I agree that educating more people will be extremely beneficial, especially in the cities and their immediate suburbs. I think the only way to get that done with a PD would be to totally fund it from the outside, and even then there would be political interference and problems if the program tried to use resources like police ranges. There are probably better ways to do it. Perhaps forming small non-profits that could channel money from anonymous pro-2A sources is the ticket...

Re: CeaseFirePA working against towns and cities fighting gun violence
BTW, if only 15% of your spending is on the programs that your mission is about, you are a HORRIBLY ineffective, inefficient non-profit.
IMO, they should not be a 501c3. There's another chapter of the 501c tax code for non-profits that is for political groups. I don't know enough about the code to say for sure.
