Holding Out Help, found here, is a non-profit organization that provides aid for those with a polygamous background, and helps them transition into mainstream life. HOH currently serves over 250 people and has a waiting list for their services.
Holding Out Hope has employees, volunteers, and those they provide aid and services to.
The organization is "100% supported by private individuals and small business…donations, as well as two annual fundraisers." Their income for the year of 2010, $157,168, came from fundraising, contributions and grants. Their expenses for the same year were $16,984 in salaries, $1,216 in taxes, $1,441 in advertising, $3,959 in office expenses, $380 in depreciation, $1,078 in insurance, $79,597 in direct client service, and $14,225 in operating expenses. Their biggest expenses are direct client services, which is exactly what you would want to see from a non-profit.
HOH employs seven people; Tonia Tewell is the Executive Director, and the others are listed as trustees. While Part I of the form says that the organization paid out $16,984 in salaries, in Part VII there is no listed compensation.
I think that Holding Out Help has a very biased view against polygamy, based on the fact that their efforts are put towards helping people leave polygamous relationships and the potential abuse that lifestyle may include. The information provided by the non-profit will likely only include stories that support their cause; instances where polygamy was emotionally or physically harmful to spouses or children.
