According to WFB, the March, whose signature event is scheduled for this Saturday, decided to incorporate as a "social welfare" organization, and a non-profit, but not a 501(c)(3), a designation which would have allowed those who donated to the March to claim their contributions as tax deductions, but which would have required the March itself to submit a list of their contributors to the IRS.
As a 501(c)(3), however, donor information would become searchable as soon as the March filed their annual tax paperwork. Given how quiet the Parkland students agitating for gun control have been about who is funding and organizing their efforts, it's no surprise that the adults in charge would seek to keep certain information out of the public eye.
One thing is clear from the March's paperwork: the kids are definitely no longer in charge.
It was already evident that major leftists organizations were dictating the March's agenda and schedule. Buzzfeed reported, weeks ago, that Everytown for Gun Safety, the Giffords organization, Planned Parenthood, and the Women's March had all taken critical roles in organizing Saturday's event. Key Democratic legislators, like Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, moved in on the kids quickly, and helped facilitate meetings with progressive groups.
The paperwork lists Jeri Rhodes as the March's top official. Rhodes, according to WFB, "lobbies Congress and the administration to advance peace, justice, opportunity, and environmental stewardship," and was formerly the chief financial officer of Greenpeace.
