Can ADA forces non-profit org to provide me a terp? - Page 2

Just to clarify:

Non-profit organization (NPO) and religious organization are not always the same thing. Many NPOs have no religious affiliation (connection). So the rules for one do not necessarily apply to the other. For example, the Red Cross and SPCA are NPOs, but they are not religious organizations.

NPOs are not always "poor". Just because they are classified as "non-profit" doesn't mean they don't have money.

So like Dennis says, if you need the answer to a specific situation, you need to contact a legal expert.

A lawyer will also be able to advise you on whether or not it is worth suing that organization to get interpreter services in the future. If an NPO doesn't want to give you an interpreter, only a court of law can make them. Not the police, not the city, not the interpreter boards, but a court of law.

Go see a lawyer.

Wondering if looking up NPO's annual tax returns (what do you call it?) be helpful to determine if NPO is either healthy or nearly finiancial brink?

Richard is right about the title 11.
Non- pofit are public,and if the org. has a need for interpreters for the deaf clients, they can hire them.
And Richard is correct about the fee, $20.00 and hr.or less is very inexpenisve.
My flat fee is $15.00 an hr. thats really inexpensive this days.
Ps: I do work with Richard.

NO SHIT! When alot of deaf people can't afford an interpreter, it's gonna be in less demand. If the company lowers its rate, then interpreters will be in higher demand. It's true.
