Abortion turf war
Planned Parenthood goes begging for money to take over territory once covered by banned San Francisco affiliate
Planned Parenthood Shasta Pacific, headquartered in Concord, has been raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars from foundations as it seeks to expand into territory once covered by the now defunct Planned Parenthood Golden Gate. Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, once headquartered in San Francisco, was ordered by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America to stop using the organization’s trademark name as of Sept. 3 after serious financial irregularities were discovered in Golden Gate’s operations. 
“In September 2010, PPSD expanded its service area to include San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, and Mendocino Counties,” said a news release from Planned Parenthood Shasta Pacific (formerly known as Planned Parenthood Shasta Diablo). “We are working quickly to open new health centers in these counties and look forward to serving the many and diverse communities in each region. A project of this magnitude has required immediate funding assistance from the local philanthropic community.” According to the press release, Planned Parenthood Shasta Pacific has already received support from the following groups for what it calls its Service Area Expansion Project: The David B. Gold Foundation -- $200,000
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation -- $200,000
Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund -- $185,000
The Mary Wohlford Foundation -- $50,000
The Endurance Fund -- $10,000 The David B. Gold Foundation also gave Planned Parenthood Shasta Pacific an additional $100,000 “to support the construction of our Napa Solano Regional Health and Training Center,” said the news release. “Thank you to Napa Valley Vintners, the non-profit trade association of Napa Valley's wine industry, which has awarded PPSP two grants to support our work in Napa County: $65,000 to support medical services and $40,000 to support education programming,” the news release added. “Finally, we are pleased to announce that we have received renewed funding from the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Fund for Community Benefit at the East Bay Community Foundation, which has awarded PPSP $75,000 to support our Increasing HIV Testing for At-Risk Populations Project,” the news release concluded. “With the support of Kaiser Permanente, PPSP is increasing HIV Testing for African American and Latino clients ages 15-24 at seven of our health centers.” In the meantime, the former Planned Parenthood Golden Gate says it will continue to operate existing facilities under the name Golden Gate Community Health, setting up a showdown with Planned Parenthood for millions of dollars in state and federal funding. Up until its disaffiliation, Planned Parenthood Golden Gate operated facilities in San Francisco, Oakland, Hayward, Rohnert Park, San Mateo, San Rafael, and a special ‘satellite clinic’ in San Francisco named the Good Samaritan Family Resource Center. According to its website, Golden Gate Community Health now operates two facilities in Oakland, as well as facilities in San Rafael, San Francisco, Hayward and San Mateo. The former Planned Parenthood affiliate still faces considerable legal and financial problems. On Aug. 11, “the charitable trusts division of the state’s attorney general’s office sent a warning letter to the Planned Parenthood Golden Gate Action Fund, the political advocacy and public policy arm of the affiliate, because the organization has failed to file copies of its tax documents with that that office for at least 10 years,” The Bay Citizen reported. ? The ex-affiliate’s financial woes date back for several years, according to the Bay Citizen: “Documents associated with a 2004 accreditation review of Planned Parenthood Golden Gate show that the local affiliate did not meet the national federation’s financial standards for its affiliates. Of nine indicators of financial health, Planned Parenthood Golden Gate was given a ‘not met’ rating for five of them. For instance, the affiliate had only 11.4 days of cash on hand, as opposed to the required 60 days.” “The most recent tax documents filed with the I.R.S. suggest that PPGG has not only been losing money in recent years, but is in financial disarray,” the Bay Citizen reported. “For the tax year ending June 30, 2009, it showed a loss of $2.8 million.” By contrast, Planned Parenthood Shasta Diablo (now Planned Parenthood Shasta Pacific) had a total income of nearly $23.4 million and net assets of $19.7 million for the tax year ending Dec. 31, 2007, according to records at the California Attorney General's Charitable Trusts Division (the most recent years for which figures were available).
