How much money did Women’s March Inc. make in 2017? How much did its controversial co-chairs Tamika Mallary, Carmen Perez, Linda Sarsour and Bob Bland make?

With much controversy surrounding the Women’s March, I am writing a column for Esquire magazine about how a movement dedicated to the empowerment of women imploded. If you have any leads, contact me.

In the course of my reporting, the organization’s public relations representative just shared with me the Women’s March IRS 990 filing that nonprofits must file with the federal government. The filing has a timestamp of Nov. 28, 2018, 11:53 a.m.

I know this is an issue of great interest to a lot of people, so I share the document with you here at this link with annotated comments and questions.

Top 10 Nuggets in Women’s March 2017 IRS filing

Women’s March Inc.’s spokeswoman at Megaphone Strategies asked that the address be redacted for “security” reasons. I stated that it will be publically availalbe but I am willing to redact the address as a personal courtesy. Mari Lynn Foulger is the legal birth name for the Women’s March co-chair referred to as “Bob Bland.” Her name has made some people (including me) wonder if she were transgender, but she was born female and is female. It may seem like TMI (too much information) but it is relevant only because some people believe revealing her name is “dead-naming,” or the calling someone who is trangender by the name with which they had been called while having a different gender. It is not.
