I pulled their tax returns and looked at a few. The latest, from 2019 shows that a little more than half of their income went to "Professional fees and other payments to independent contractors" and "occupancy, rent, utilities and maintenance". The rest went to "Other expenses" listed as "advertising, travel, office expense, program expense." There is nothing that shows anything went to help a veteran.
As an official charity collector they only have to give 10% of what they make to the actual charity. Of course no one knows exactly how much they make which I'm sure they don't want on camera. I think I'll stick with giving prayers 🙏.
come on man.....the basic LEO is at a total loss with the concept of what you are doing, what do you expect civilians even if they are ex military going to know. STOP DOING THIS BY YOURSELF. get a handful of your subscribers to meet up with you and do this stuff. stick to gov workers, they are at least supposed to know better lol
I've learned that a great many vets are some of the biggest sheep. During their service, they were trained to follow orders at all costs. And never unlearned that behavior after leaving the service and returning to civilian life.
@@ETT64 That's so true. I've experienced the exact same thing. I see this same behavior among my retired law enforcement acquaintances. Retired government and education folks have the same behavior.
This is whole thing was just a big misunderstanding. The guy got the permit he needed and thought Jeff was competing for funds with him without the necessary paperwork. You can’t blame him, Jeff just should’ve explained himself a little better that’s all. Both of them were good great work, they just needed a little more communication. Remember communication is the key 🔑

Thanks Jeff for what you do. Unfortunately, I think this individual was more worried about you taking his money than helping out the veterans. Good bless this holiday weekend.
I agree & it's such a shame. Clearly more concerned about Jeff interfering with his money making when Jeff was actually refusing money the whole time & sending it his way.
I don't know you, but my guess is the difference between you and most of the others is that even when you were ignorant you still had a desire to learn. Many people, maybe most, have no desire or very little desire to learn.
If I ever come across a stand like this in my travels I most assuredly will avoid them like the plague! Jeff, thanks for bringing to light these weasels and their hatred for Freedoms like Free Speech
Specifically told people you aren’t soliciting. Specifically told people you weren’t affiliated. Specifically told people to give money to the table. Gets threatened by a charity volunteer for taking his donations and claiming to be affiliated. It’s insane.
I've met him, it's kinda meh. 😁 Seriously though, what you see is truly what you get. Jeff does 0 acting, outside what he lets us in on. He's good peeps.
Boss? Volunteers have bosses? Is he a paid volunteer? Curious to know more about a company that sells merch and are they also collecting funds as donations?
I'm a Desert Storm Veteran, spent 9 months and 6 days there. ETSd in 91 after I got back. Joined the National Guard in 2000. Ended up back in Iraq 2003-2004. Been homeless, been dealing with PTSD, alcoholism (no drugs, fortunately) Thank You for what you do.
Telling a veteran that they need a "permit" to stand on a public sidewalk and say "God bless the homeless veterans" to passerby...is it July 1st or April 1st?
Never seen a charitable group supporting the same issue get so upset. Almost as if they considered you competition and you were cutting into their "non-profit", sort of like a pimp would behave...Wonder if he is really a paid employee and if any of their collected donations actually go to veterans.🤔 Thanks HYO👍
Hell no you don't need a permit look at all the people panhandling they don't have a permit I bet every dime he collected went right in his pocket for beer money
This is 100% these "non-profit" charities only donate a certain percentage to whatever thing they're shilling for....these clowns needed a permit because they were SELLING MERCH....if they were just collecting donations they wouldn't need a permit...and that man was WAY to eager to shoo off what he saw as competition....to be a VOLUNTEER....I would not be getting in the faces of what other people are doing... if I'm just out there volunteering my time and not getting paid.
As a 24 year veteran, I appreciate your approach and efforts. We have both been around long enough to understand that people/organizations will take advantage of other peoples emotions by appearing to support goodwill efforts. I hope this man was truly volunteering for a reputable organization that is actually supporting homeless veterans. I wonder how much of their proceeds are actually donated to homeless veterans organizations? Great audit Jeff, too bad he could NOT see the silver lining in the clouds.
Imagine the positive PR for his organization had the man instead approached Jeff with the attitude of helpfulness and support for a vet standing right before him.
He's gonna feel awful silly when he watches your video and sees that you were sending people to him. Who am I kidding, he'll double down and pretend that you edited the video or something.
That tells me they are scammers . It is all about collecting money 💰 🤑 💸. They are scammers. They Have a company and they get a cut in whatever they collect. All about money!
Between you and I Jeff, how much money that they collect actually goes towards the Vets, I'm guessing if any may 10 cents of every dollar collected. I'm all for the Veterans and have respect for them. My Grandfather was a medic in WWI, my father fought in the Korean War, 2 brothers in the Army, another Navy, and most recent our Son in Iraq and Afghanistan USMC. That's why when I see these vendors on curbsides claiming their collecting money for Vets I walk right by. Their are others ways to support our Veterans. Thank you for what you do. Stay safe. and NEVER let any one infringe on your rights, that includes law enforcement.

Jeff, I have been watching audit video’s for almost 2 years. I am a social worker and have seen some really sad(infuriating) tactics toward homeless and marginalized people who just try to get by. Rampant misunderstanding of mental health care/concern. You stand out from the crowd in what you do, and in the best way. Sometimes you make me dizzy with the round and round conversation, poor cops😂 You are doing great work, thanks.

If the "volunteer " was a cop, it would be typical that he didn't "investigate " anything . He assumed you were doing something that you were not doing. Then he wants to run and call someone and FALSELY reported something that you were not doing. I am hoping that this behavior is not just human nature. I hope he sees your video, and realizes what a dumbass he was. I am hoping he then corrects his mistakes and improves for next time. WHAT exactly is that "permit" for, AND did they charge for that "permission slip" (permit). Keep going JEFF ! Luv your style and your message.

Wow!! The comments on this organization’s facebook page!! I made sure and left my own. This organization has not given any funds to homeless vets!! The tax records posted to their Facebook page is astounding!! Great audit, Jeff! It’s just a shame that people actually gave this organization money because they don’t use those funds to help vets at all!!
Man that guy was a total jerk! Amazing how people are so quick to assume things. You didn't take a penny, and even let other people know that the the other guy was taking money and that they could give to him. So you were helping him! You were in the right 1000% on this one Jeff
people have looked into their public economic records and it says nothing about donations, only expenses and salaries. So it might very well be just another scam, and seeing how reactive and territorial the supposed veteran was acting, it looked perfectly like a mob gang trying to move out a rival gang doing business in their territory. In short, donating blindly to organizations without a background check is a bad idea, since charity has been one of the most used scams worldwide.
For instance, in my country (Spain) they put big containers aside the trash dumpsters to throw your used and second-hand clothes. It is supposed to go entirely to poor people who can't afford to buy new clothes, homeless, etc. Well, it was found that those same clothes were being sold on second-hand clothes shops some time later, so those never went to the poor or homeless, but they were profiting on them.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!! Love you Jeff! Thanks for all you do for our comrades on the street! Good luck on your endeavors partner! Happy trails!
I have always thought that would be a good comeback. Also when people ask these auditors if they have a permit to photograph from a public sidewalk, the auditor could respond by asking the person if he/she has permission to talk or permission to approach, or permission to look in their general direction or permission to be within 500 feet etc.
Happy 4th of July from a US Paratrooper Veteran....keep up the good fight! Love the free state of Florida (for the most part ;)) we travel all winter there!
This donkey was so wrapped up in his own personal little world that he couldn't see reality staring him in the face. An embarrassment to the cause. Happy 4th of July Jeff. Keep the faith.
@user-sc5ft5jp9yI wasn’t aware that they made that! I have given lots of tips to poll workers and even spent lots of money in the Champaign room. I thought they raked it in pretty well! Oh, I thought you said “pole” workers. Never mind, then.
Lo más triste es que Jeff se tomó el tiempo de explicar a la gente que él no está afiliado al otro señor y dirigía gentilmente a la gente a que colaboren directamente con el señor, pero el otro se molesta simplemente por una intención y que tuviese que tener que responder... Waoooo
I walked past that guy recently at that rest stop. Wish you had posted/made this video a couple weeks ago. I would have been happy to stand "over his shoulder" and tell him he s a sellout to this country. I parked in the handicap space right in front of him. He didnt even say hello when i greeted him.
Wonder why he assumed you didn’t have a permit and more importantly why he bothered to ask you? Who gave him the authority to confront anyone and check for their paperwork? Have a safe and wonderful July 4th, Jeff Gray.🇺🇲 Wishing you and your family all the best in your travels. #gbthv
Yeah, I wonder about this organization; they appear somewhat contradictory in that they solicit money for vets yet will (possibly) call the cops on people who may be homeless vets!! 😠
I think we need to look into the so-called share the love veterans fundraising. Just to make sure the money is going where it deserves to go to. Thanks Jeff Love your compassion and style for our freedom. I'm not a religious person but God bless you my friend.❤
In the land of the free, if you want to say something to someone, you need permission from some institution. Behind iron curtain, it was called Office of Censorship.
See at first I thought only good love and will for the other man, and Jeff is doing double duty spreading the wonderful word of god bless our homeless and vets while also auditing our civil rights. The other guy was running a business to pocket money using that same compassion but no benefit for all the citizens or community. What is probably happening is the manager is off running another stand close by and he couldn’t leave to confront Jeff. Love your work Jeff
Is rest park property not public property? Why do you need a permit to ask for money? The SCOTUS ruled that’s a Constitutionally protected activity… Can someone please explain? Thanks.
I know this is hindsight, but I would have asked him if he observed me taking a dime from anyone. Of course he’s such a moron he probably would have said, “Why else would you be holding that sign?” Veterans swear an oath to the Constitution that never ends, even when retired. It would be nice if this one knew what’s in it. God Bless you, Jeff!
this is the problem with America today ~ everybody is always up in everyone else's business, SMH...and a point of clarity Jeff, I thought it was a constitutional right to panhandle, NO PERMIT REQUIRED!?!?
@@drantil really 'cocky' eh...??? what part of 'panhandling' do you NOT understand Einstein???...furthermore, the question or point of 'clarity' requested was posed to Mr. Jeff Gray not you or any other random passerby...and as far as panhandling is concerned, one DOES NOT need a permit to exercise a constitutional right beyond time, manner and place restrictions, SMH...some sage advice here Einstein: next time at least TRY to keep up with the details BEFORE you make a fool of yourself by commenting about something you clearly DON'T UNDERSTAND...SMFH
I really hope that guy was legit and is really collecting money for our veterans but usually when somebody is so defensive and throws out allegations like you're keeping the money for yourself usually it's the other way around and I hope I am very wrong. Thank you Jeff for standing up for our rights and spreading the word for our veterans God bless you.

About 95% goes into administration cost.

That's what you get of you're ignorant....
Lots of good people being so generous. Praise Jesus.
The permit talks about an "organizations ability". A single man voicing kind words is not an organization.
It's incredible that we see so many warm-hearted, generous, compassionate people in one place with one exception.
Yeah the guy scamming people saying he is with a charity that doesn’t exist anymore
I wonder how many people have gone to this charity’s stands over the years and donated because of the good work Jeff does to raise awareness?
people have looked into their public economic records and it says nothing about donations, only expenses and salaries. So it might very well be just another scam, and seeing how reactive and territorial the supposed veteran was acting, it looked perfectly like a mob gang trying to move out a rival gang doing business in their territory. In short, donating blindly to organizations without a background check is a bad idea, since charity has been one of the most used scams worldwide.
For instance, in my country (Spain) they put big containers aside the trash dumpsters to throw your used and second-hand clothes. It is supposed to go entirely to poor people who can't afford to buy new clothes, homeless, etc. Well, it was found that those same clothes were being sold on second-hand clothes shops some time later, so those never went to the poor or homeless, but they were profiting on them.

The charity isn’t even around anymore. Guy was scamming people
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!! Love you Jeff! Thanks for all you do for our comrades on the street! Good luck on your endeavors partner! Happy trails!
It's always weird when people start off by making accusations rather than simply taking the time to find out what you are doing.
That makes me want to look up the "non-profit" to see how much they contribute to the vets.
So much for their need to have a permit to express your 1A rights. HYOCRI wins again ✌️
The education continues...
Might be worth asking if they have a permit to ask you if you have a pernit....and watch the confusion unfold 😂😂😂
I have always thought that would be a good comeback. Also when people ask these auditors if they have a permit to photograph from a public sidewalk, the auditor could respond by asking the person if he/she has permission to talk or permission to approach, or permission to look in their general direction or permission to be within 500 feet etc.
I wonder how much money that that Company is making is actually goes to our veterans?
God bless the homeless Veterans and God Bless those sweet hearted people who offer their funds and prayers 🙏
Would like to know how much of those donations make it to actual Vet's
I would have loved for Jeff to set this guy straight on sending people back to give money. I wanted to see his face when he hopefully felt remorse.
Happy 4th of July from a US Paratrooper Veteran....keep up the good fight! Love the free state of Florida (for the most part ;)) we travel all winter there!
This donkey was so wrapped up in his own personal little world that he couldn't see reality staring him in the face. An embarrassment to the cause. Happy 4th of July Jeff. Keep the faith.
Jeff you a sly one man! Love that you read the name on the permit out loud, bwahahahaah, we will take it from here brother!
We love you up here in New Hampshire Jeff ❤. Thank you for all you do Brother 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏
Happy Independence weekend Jeff and everyone!!
God bless you and your family, Jeff. Keep up the good work. 🇺🇸
A permit to exercise your freedoms? Thats a new one. Not a smart guy.
That man, like most people who see Jeff with his sign, wrongly assume Jeff is soliciting funds which would require a permit.
@@skipondowntheroad5833 so i think it is a little different since panhandling is legal. that booth was more giving services/product for money
@user-sc5ft5jp9yI wasn’t aware that they made that! I have given lots of tips to poll workers and even spent lots of money in the Champaign room. I thought they raked it in pretty well!
Oh, I thought you said “pole” workers. Never mind, then.
THANK YOU for standing tall even against stupidity and greed.
I bet the majority of the donations went in that idiots pocket. Oh I forgot he is just volunteering ! How kind of him . Great job Jeff !
3:46 You're interfering with his commissions.
Lo más triste es que Jeff se tomó el tiempo de explicar a la gente que él no está afiliado al otro señor y dirigía gentilmente a la gente a que colaboren directamente con el señor, pero el otro se molesta simplemente por una intención y que tuviese que tener que responder... Waoooo
I walked past that guy recently at that rest stop. Wish you had posted/made this video a couple weeks ago. I would have been happy to stand "over his shoulder" and tell him he s a sellout to this country. I parked in the handicap space right in front of him. He didnt even say hello when i greeted him.
Seems like he didn't want to share the love . Love =$ in his eyes
Wonder why he assumed you didn’t have a permit and more importantly why he bothered to ask you? Who gave him the authority to confront anyone and check for their paperwork? Have a safe and wonderful July 4th, Jeff Gray.🇺🇲 Wishing you and your family all the best in your travels. #gbthv
Well said!
That guys organization may need investigated. I wonder if all the funds go to vets or not.
Yeah, I wonder about this organization; they appear somewhat contradictory in that they solicit money for vets yet will (possibly) call the cops on people who may be homeless vets!! 😠
I think we need to look into the so-called share the love veterans fundraising. Just to make sure the money is going where it deserves to go to. Thanks Jeff Love your compassion and style for our freedom. I'm not a religious person but God bless you my friend.❤
In the land of the free, if you want to say something to someone, you need permission from some institution. Behind iron curtain, it was called Office of Censorship.
I Wonder how much money they make, to how much money they actually give back to the Vets?
I'm always glad to see the helpful people. Makes up for the bitter people that want to shut you down.
Id be interested to see the financials of that "charity"
See at first I thought only good love and will for the other man, and Jeff is doing double duty spreading the wonderful word of god bless our homeless and vets while also auditing our civil rights. The other guy was running a business to pocket money using that same compassion but no benefit for all the citizens or community.
What is probably happening is the manager is off running another stand close by and he couldn’t leave to confront Jeff. Love your work Jeff
Is rest park property not public property? Why do you need a permit to ask for money? The SCOTUS ruled that’s a Constitutionally protected activity… Can someone please explain? Thanks.
A 👍👍 for you for the work you do. God bless you and all vets. 😎
I know this is hindsight, but I would have asked him if he observed me taking a dime from anyone. Of course he’s such a moron he probably would have said, “Why else would you be holding that sign?” Veterans swear an oath to the Constitution that never ends, even when retired. It would be nice if this one knew what’s in it. God Bless you, Jeff!
this is the problem with America today ~ everybody is always up in everyone else's business, SMH...and a point of clarity Jeff, I thought it was a constitutional right to panhandle, NO PERMIT REQUIRED!?!?
the other dude is not panhandling (at least not only), is conducting proper business on a street stand; so in fact he needs a permit.
@@drantil W-H-O-O-O-S-H!!! is the sound of my statement going right over your head!!!
@@paulreider8321 mine is going over your head too, so don't get cocky
@@drantil really 'cocky' eh...??? what part of 'panhandling' do you NOT understand Einstein???...furthermore, the question or point of 'clarity' requested was posed to Mr. Jeff Gray not you or any other random passerby...and as far as panhandling is concerned, one DOES NOT need a permit to exercise a constitutional right beyond time, manner and place restrictions, SMH...some sage advice here Einstein: next time at least TRY to keep up with the details BEFORE you make a fool of yourself by commenting about something you clearly DON'T UNDERSTAND...SMFH
You have a wonderful countenance with the public. Thank you for your efforts!
I really hope that guy was legit and is really collecting money for our veterans but usually when somebody is so defensive and throws out allegations like you're keeping the money for yourself usually it's the other way around and I hope I am very wrong. Thank you Jeff for standing up for our rights and spreading the word for our veterans God bless you.
God bless you, Jeff. I don't understand how so many people can fabricate seeing something that they clearly didn't see.
