What do you mean, "who their donors are?" What is missing from their CharityNavigator?

They're a 501(c)3, they take donations off the front page of their website. Sure, you might be curious who is donating? Or if there are any donations over a certain amount? I don't see any of that for The March of Dimes, either, do we question whether they are "for sale?"

I agree that "for sale" isn't a fair descriptor, of the March of Dimes or EPIC or the EFF. That was mostly my point.

I think it's reasonable to ask some number of questions about the March of Dimes. It's surprising, at least a little bit, that eradicating polio didn't reduce the amount of charitable work a polio charity had to do.
