91 million vs $561K now that's scary.

Not really. Businesswise, Sierra Club is a financially well honed corporate monster now.

What I find scary is the BRC's payroll in relation to it's public donations and income. That's a scary burn-rate.

They have eight employees and one attorney. Thats not much is it.

So now they are a grass roots org, yes? With that kind of "burn rate" they couldn't possibly stay afloat if they did not have all those volunteers.

And your numbers ... if you want to use an actual 'burn rate" should be 1 million to 232k....right?

Not to mention BRC is a 501(c)3....Sierra Club is a 501(c)4
