The essential form of the .org ratings says a lot about trust.
  
 A decades long communal hurt here by the Morris-Patterson ‘administration’ of 
™ is evident throughout the ™ community here with the long stories of trails of 
money given altruistically to good cause only to have it scooped off of budgets 
and wired elsewhere.. 
 


 Asking around the old meditating community evidently a long collective 
experience around fundraising would be an impediment to success now.  That 
ought to be addressed directly. Where soliciting in groups of community ™ 
movement meditators for the $18 million for the university endowment, 2.3 
$million for the annual fund, or operating funds for MSAE, or now the $270k to 
keep the Domes open, too often the immediate response comes as.. “I’ll never 
give them another a nickel again!”. Hot communal hurt.

 Without charity rating *stars*..?
 

 So, TM’s other units are charity ‘star-less’. 

 They don’t rate a Charity rating star?
