Dothan, Alabama Changes City Financial Disclosure Requirements For Non-Profit Organizations Seeking Funding

In August 2015 the City of Dothan, Alabama changed its policies to require non-profit organizations seeking grant appropriations to provide extensive financial documentation and other information to justify their requests. The new policy represents a substantial change from the previous requirements for an appropriation. The policy applies to non-profit organizations based within the city limits that support education, health care/wellness, crime prevention, or recreation opportunities for city residents.

The Dothan City Commission enacted the policy, called Agency and Non-Profit Appropriation Guidelines, at its August 4, 2015 meeting. The policy requires organizations to submit tax return records . . .
