## Resource

The Cars for Kids jingle has been stuck in our heads for over two decades, but have you ever stopped to think about where the money actually goes? The speaker delves into the world of nonprofit organizations and the importance of transparency in charitable giving. They discuss a recent court case in California where a judge ruled that Cars for Kids was engaging in false advertising, and the implications this has for the broader nonprofit sector.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
