Not a bad profit for being non-profit. 

And that's just can be seen. She hiding a lot more than that.

A 2024 filing shows the group awarded just $158,811 in grants that year while Armstrong brought in a salary of $215,726

FIRST ON FOX: Far-left agitator Nekima Levy Armstrong, who was one of the organizers of the storming of a Minnesota church to protest ICE on Sunday, raked in over $1 million during six years leading a Minneapolis civil rights nonprofit that addresses anti-poverty issues.

Armstrong, whose website identifies her as a civil rights lawyer and "scholar-activist," helped to organize the storming of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. 

In a Facebook post, she claimed that one of the church’s pastors is a leader at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The demonstration is one of many throughout the Twin Cities in protest of the federal government’s surge of immigration enforcement officials to crack down on widespread fraud taking place in the state. 

Armstrong, who is currently the founder and CEO of a cannabis company called Dope Roots, led the nonprofit as executive director for at least six years, from 2019 through 2024, according to tax filings by the Wayfinder Foundation.

The 2024 tax filing shows that despite the foundation being dedicated to giving grants to anti-poverty community initiatives, it awarded just $158,811 that year, while Armstrong brought in a salary of $215,726. She also took an additional $40,548 in health benefits, benefit plan contributions and deferred compensation, according to the 2024 filing. 

In 2023, the year that the nonprofit awarded $133,698 in grants, Armstrong brought in a salary of $170,726, plus $44,300 in other "compensation from the organization and related organizations," according to that year’s filing. 

The year before reflects the same pattern, with Armstrong bringing in $175,000 in compensation, plus an estimated $33,126 in other compensation, while the organization gave just $161,325 in grants, per the 2022 filing.

According to filings ranging from 2019 to 2024, in six years Armstrong made $936,395 as executive director of the Wayfinder Foundation, plus an additional $201,313 in health benefits and other compensation. Meanwhile, during her time in leadership, the Wayfinder Foundation disbursed approximately $700,052 in grants.

I don't know non-profits that well. I never worked in that area. But when those running it are making million dollar profits, I wonder what the people under her are making? 

Maybe nothing? Maybe a lot?

But this lady is definitely profitting. I wonder what breaks she gets on taxes being a profiting non-profit?

The overhead in these nonprofit is often staggering.  By the time everyone siphons off their cut, there isn’t a lot to distribute.

I'm still trying to comprehend what you're asking.  You could also just pull their 990 and see executive compensation

One of my sisters used to consult non-profit organiations a lot. I never asked her anything about it though as I usually only see about once a year. I don't think she made much money from it but I really don't know. She is pretty well off but her husband is an eye doctor with a practice that's been in business for dozens of years.

Right. But I guess when money is coming in from shady organizations like Black Lives Matter, which has been exposed as fraudulent to no end, and add that to this lady helped organize the storming of a church like she did, it simply seems like a bad mix of character and business to match up with what people normally think of non-profit organizations. Just makes me curious.

She may just end up doing time. She will 100% be trying to throw her money around to save her ass, and that would be the perfect time to find more dirt on her financially and add more charges to take her down.
