I would NOT RECOMMEND DONATING MONEY or ATTENDING ANY South Coast Business Employment Corporation sponsored an event based on how unprofessionally I was treated at their grant funded Coastal Vita tax filing support program that they set up at tihe Pony Mall in Coos Bay.
A few weeks after getting my taxes done there I recieved a letter from the IRS Oregon Tax Board stating they needed additional information e.g. photo I.D. and W-2 employment forms before they could process my Oregon State refund. All of this information was provided to Coastal Vita.
With so much fraud happeninng these days I did not feel comfortable sending my social security W-2 and photo identification prior to me speaking to Dan the site manager to determine why I was getting this letter and was it valid. I also had serious concerns if my taxes were done correctly because my W-2 forms were from California NOT the state of Oregon.
Dan became very defensive telling me he was not going to go over my taxes. That I could not prove there was an error. He stated that he and his volunteers were not responsible if their was an error, so contact the IRS. When I asked who was overseeing this community based grant program Dan refused to give me his business card. He told me he was going to delete me from the system and told me "You can leave now".
I reached out to David Conradt the director who told me that they are not responsible if the taxes are not correct. That this was a free service. That I could happily take my taxes somewhere else and pay someone to look them over. I asked David who was the president of this corporation ? Who was the grant donor for the program? He refused to reply.
I could find NO contact information as to who are the board members of this organization online. This information should be transparent and provided when requested to the public. Like all nonprofits they write grant proposals asking for free money to put on community events. They pay themselves a salary from the donations and ask for free labor from volunteers to put on the community based program..
Any foundation or private donor should think twice before donating to South Coast Business Employment Corporation because they lack basic professional customer service centered ethics.
