NOM Posts 2012 990: $2.7M In The Red

NOM has published its 2012 tax form and as you can see above, they finished 2012 over $2.7M in the red. Brian Brown took to their blog last night to blast complaints.

"NOM fully complies with federal law regarding the public availability of our Form 990 tax return. Our 2012 Form 990 was mailed to the IRS on November 15th as required by law. It is available for public inspection on the NOM website. This frivolous complaint by the HRC is extremely ironic given the fact that HRC published on its website the private information from NOM's 2008 Form 990, which is a felony under federal law and which is the subject of current Congressional investigations. NOM has also filed a federal lawsuit against the IRS to find out who in the IRS illegally released to the HRC our confidential donor information."

The form shows 64 unnamed donors who contributed over $5000. Nine of those donors gave $100,000 or more. The three largest donors funded NOM's hate campaigns to the tune of $1.5M, $1.9M, and $2.6M. As you can see, much of that money went to fund the failed campaigns in Minnnesota, Washington, Maine, and Maryland. NOM also gave $425K to fund the successful constitutional ban in North Carolina.

Below is their board of directors compensation list. Note that Maggie Gallagher was still pulling down $160K. The foul Jennifer Roback Morse of NOM's Ruth Institute was paid $125K.
