SF Paid $25 Million to Revoked, Suspended, Delinquent Nonprofits

John Pelissero, senior scholar, government ethics, quoted by The San Francisco Standard.

An investigation by The San Francisco Standard has uncovered that the City of San Francisco allocated more than $25 million in taxpayer dollars to dozens of nonprofit organizations blocked by state from receiving or spending funds.

“My first reaction is that the public interest is not being served in San Francisco with the amount of money going to nonprofit organizations that don't have current licenses,” said John Pelissero, a senior scholar in government ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University.
