Right. I’m sure you do. And that’s why I said “many”restrict kids. But not all. Some allow kids until the kitchen closes. Some just set a time based on when it becomes more alcohol oriented than food, even if the kitchen is open.

Legally they are allowed if accompanied by a parent or guardian, or if the establishment has 50% or more of their sales in food. Any rules more restrictive than that can be set by the establishment.

Many places do have a policy of no minors after a time. Usually like 9;00

The only thing I can of that would be close to this scenario would be government grants. If the government gave my nonprofit a grant to do a project, and I didn’t do it by a certain date, I could lose my funding. But I couldn’t just spend it on anything, like a year’s worth of office supplies or rent.

There are no hard and fast rules. The IRS issues guidelines, and uses words like "reasonable" and "comparable". Highly regulated would be hard and fast rules- things like X% of median, etc

You are correct about mission and size, but there is a lot more to it than that. NP's are also competing for employees with for profit companies. That's why compensation can be base on an employees salary history as well.

That is absolutely false. It's a best practice for any nonprofit to end the year with unspent money. It's carried over into the next years budge. This helps cash flows some nonprofits depend on grant money that isn't paid until after expenses are incurred. In addition, many nonprofit professionals advise keeping a reserve fund equaling up to 2 years of operating expenses.

Some types of foundations (a specific type of np) are required to disburse at least a certain percentage of their money every year, but in general there is no use it or lose it for NP's.

The comment called the statement "he's brain damaged, he can't be an elected official," spin.

Also often' spin" is something technically true, but presented in a way to give a specific impression. So "Brain damaged" in the common usages is pejorative. And of course, by the same token "difficulty with auditory processing" puts it in the least negative light.
