Is "deafhood" dying? Are people losing interest in it? Is it still alive? Or just sleeping? Maybe it's just simply a boring thing to lug around that people are just walking away from it? Maybe the excitement, the glamour, and the buzz have finally worn off since 2006 at the height of the DPN2 protest? Has it helped deaf people? Has it helped you? Did it benefit you? Did you gain anything from it? Are deaf people happier benefitting from "deafhood"? Are there more work to be done? Tayler Mayer asked some questions in his "What's up with deafhood?" video. Some of the questions came from me and not Tayler. Although one of the questions he asked, "Deafhood Foundation (DHF) still alive? Raising enough money?"
Well, as for DHF on the money issue Tayler Mayer and anybody else can look up their 2010 and 2011 public tax records that I've downloaded for your convenience. The Deafhood Foundation tax records are public records since Deafhood Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. Their tax identification number is 26-2603125.
Tayler Mayer, in answering some of your questions, according to DHF's tax records the amount of money they raised in 2011 has gone down compared to their 2010 amount (see above on link for their tax records). Contribution by each donor on average has gone down in 2011. The amount of money raised through gifts, grants, and/or contributions in 2009 was $6,400; 2010 was $26,991; and 2011 was $22,744 totaling $56,135 after three years. Their 2012 tax record won't be available until later in 2013. But in 2010 there were 108 donors averaging about $250 per person. In 2011 there were 155 donors averaging about $146 per person. In 2012 there were 155 donors but amount donated, contributed, or gifted won't be known until later this year after they have filed their taxes.
