And in ''Same Straw, Smaller Back,'' Zwirn notes how new regulatory burdens that fall heavily on smaller companies (the usual Group B clients) may persuade many of them to go private.

Compensation of Presidents of Higher Education Institutions --- http://chronicle.com/stats/990/How to check on a charity or church or college before you donate: You can begin with IRS Form 990 disclosures, but these sometimes may be more misleading than helpful. You can access them from Guidestar at http://www.guidestar.org/index.jsp One problem is that reported "compensation" for executives may not include free houses, free cars, and free services like lawn care and catering. Another problem is that rich alumni may provide college executives with free condo use, airline tickets, and club memberships.Guidestar also provides salary disclosures for top executives in the non-profit organization. However, funds can (such as charity crooks) can be diverted by cheats in other ways.Research Tools Analyst Reports Charity Check Grant Explorer Data Services Nonprofit Compensation Reports Salary Search"Giving Freely—And Wisely: One site names preachers who may be misusing money and suggests that you 'prayerfully' consider giving to other ministries instead," Jane Bryant Quinn, Newsweek, December 18, 2006, Page 51 --- http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16127630/site/newsweek/
Unfortunately, you can't always believe what the (IRS Form) 990 says. It's supposed to show how much the nonprofit spends on actual services, as opposed to fund-raising and administration. But the law isn't much enforced. In a report covering part of the 1990s, the General Accounting Office found that 64 percent of public charities claimed to have zero—zero!—fund-raising expenses. Do you believe that? Neither do I.
Some of the rating services adjust for these problems. Uncharitably, they often slam each other's methods while touting their own. I'm a civilian in these wars, so my advice is to look for good grades from every source. Start your research here:
1. The Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance (Give.org). It currently posts reports on more than 900 nonprofits, testing them by a number of standards including good governance. About 65 percent of them pass. The rest fail, or refuse to be evaluated (a bad sign, no matter what excuse the charity gives).
2. American Institute of Philanthropy (CharityWatch.org). It's the toughest of the bunch, rating more than 500 charities on a scale of A+ down to F. Because it disregards certain, potentially suspect, expenses and donations, it fails some nonprofits that the other raters approve. Readers of this column can get its latest Charity Rating Guide free from AIP, P.O. Box 578460, Chicago, IL 60657.
3. CharityNavigator.org rates 5,100 nonprofits on a scale of zero to four stars. This site draws only from a nonprofit's latest 990 form, which could mislead. But I like its Top Ten lists, such as 10 Charities Overpaying Their For-Profit Fund-Raisers.
4. MinistryWatch.com rates more than 500 evangelical groups on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. It's an ardent advocate for financial disclosure. The site names preachers who may be misusing money and suggests that you "prayerfully" consider other ministries instead. Withholding that advice, says MinistryWatch.com, would be "tantamount to condoning sin." Hear, hear.
5. The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (Ecfa.org) accredits Evangelical churches and charities based on such standards as audited financial reports and ECFA's own field reviews. If your group hasn't joined (or is on the lists of those that left) you should ask why. There's no comparable service for Jewish, Muslim or Catholic organizations.
You'll find other sources. GuideStar.org gives no ratings, just access to 990s for nearly 700,000 charities. Pennsylvania's Department of State lists nonprofits that ran into trouble there. They may be fund-raising in other states.
Still, most people donate simply because someone asks them to, says William Meehan, chair of Philanthropic Research, parent of GuideStar. Charity ratings haven't had much impact, because they're flawed and not enough people follow them. Besides, the ratings don't help you choose among similar charities. For that, you need to know how well they do their jobs. That's the next step—and a new Web site should help it along. Watch for GreatNonprofits.org, launching next spring. People familiar with specific charities—clients, donors, staff and volunteers—will be able to post opinions there, for you to read before you decide to give.
