ALTERATIONS OF PURPOSES/MISSIONS:
On the Humantics Foundation
website (
http://www.humanticsfoundation.com)
the purpose of the non-profit
is expressed as Breast Implants: Recovery
& Discovery.
On the 1997-2001 Form 990’s the organization’s exempt
purpose is listed as ‘Education, health matters’ and goes on to summarize work
done regarding breast implants [Provided 24 hr /365 days online internet &
telephone support. Provided explant surgeries.] Purposes listed in Guidestar.org for the Humantics
Foundation however, reflect the addition of ‘unrelated purposes’. The
following paragraph was added to the Humantics Foundation’s ‘mission’
statement on Guidestar.org: “We are further committed to
bringing public awareness to the importance of retaining and regaining
medical freedom and the public relations campaigns to thwart this.
From doing this work on a very controversial public issue, we have also
become proponents for First Amendment Rights issues.”
The addition of several new ‘missions’ and ‘purposes’: 1) medical
freedom, 2) public relations campaigns and 3) First Amendment Rights do not reflect ‘education, health matters’ 24
hr/365 days in supporting of women harmed by breast implants. They
do however reflect the personal interests of the Humantics Foundation
Director.
Citing from Public Charity - Required Provisions for
Articles:
The articles of organization must limit the organization's
purposes to one or more of the exempt purposes set forth in section
501(c)(3) And must not expressly empower it to engage, other than as
an insubstantial part of its activities, in activities that are not in
furtherance of one or more of those purposes.
The Humantics Foundation has engaged in substantial activity
regarding the three above additional missions/purposes. The actual
‘purpose’ of the organization in many opinions seems to become
scattered at will. (*see
here
) for official foundation webpage examples of the
Director’s medical freedom, public relations campaigns, heavy First Amendment Rights
focus, personal lawsuits and personal 'Mine Enemies' webpages. The
website does focus on education, health matters (*see
http://www.humanticsfoundation.com)
about the breast implant issue; however, a viewer will note the many
unprofessional links
specifically focused on the personal life of its Director.
2006
On the
Guidestar.org website, as of December 2006, the new categories
named as the Humantics Foundation purposes are:
R24—Women's Rights
R63—Censorship, Freedom of Speech and Press Issues
Consistency, anyone?
Breast Implant issue???

Dear Sir of
Madam, This is in response to your
letter dated September 5,1998, requesting a name and address change to
your organization. We have updated our records to reflect these
changes. Our records indicate that a determination letter
issued in October 1964, granted your organization exemption from federal
income tax under section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. That
letter is still in effect. Based on information subsequently submitted, we
classified your organization as one that is not a private foundation
within the meaning of section 109 (s) of the Code because it is an
organization described in section 509 (a) (2). This classification was based on
the assumption that your organization's operations would continue as
stated in the application. If your organization's sources of
support, or its character, method of operations, or purposes have changed,
please let us know so we can consider the effect of the change on the
exempt status and foundation status of your
organization."
