Jordan's Way's New Money Grab Patreon

Oh yeaaaaah, it's totally worth $5 a month to watch Kris Rotonda and his FOR PROFIT business Jordan's Way LLC pretend to give a damn about shelter animals. The $250+25% they're making from these rescues and shelters just isn't enough.... he needs to exploit them more for his own profit.

Don't worry though, he'll "be selecting a shelter every month to give a donation to." We wonder if that'll end up like the mysterious cash, TV, Litter-Robot by Whisker, and BarkBox contests that there never appears to be a winner of (https://www.facebook.com/jordanswaysux/posts/pfbid0uvgNJu6ghoJrfzrSLXC2TmmeCubZbaQWNdQJsWQJHZYdM4UD33w7n7dsatUhJ2Yal)

Or maybe it's like the "Dollar a Month Club" where "all of the money raised through the $1 a month program will go directly to the shelter animals for things like treats, dog and cat beds, enrichment toys, and other supplies we can use not only to provide these animals with some added comforts, but also to help us raise more money for the shelters." (https://www.jordanswaytour.com/sponsor) Any shelter seen any of that money?

Jordan's Way needs to Talk to you about a Job... in Secret

 "Better discussed on a call." Hahahahahahahlol.... why? Because you're trying to keep your little scheme a secret from the internet now?

Also, there's NFW he's really paying $60-100 an hour for this.

Jordan's Way Takes 1.7 MILLION DOLLARS IN 2.5 YEARS FROM THE BACKS OF SHELTER ANIMALS!

 1.7 MILLION DOLLARS IN 2.5 YEARS TAKEN FROM THE BACKS OF SHELTER ANIMALS!

That's right..... Jordan's Way LLC claims to have raised 7M dollars in 2.5 years. With the 25% commission, that means over 1.7 MILLION DONOR DOLLARS HAVE GONE TO A FOR PROFIT COMPANY INSTEAD OF TO ANIMALS. This doesn't account for the additional $250 that each shelter pays for costs.

$700k a year for less than full time work doesn't seem like a bad gig. But it's not enough.... now Kris Rotonda wants to use these hard-working shelters to make even more money for himself at the expense of shelter animals.

Shelters and rescues should be ashamed for participating in this racket.

California Dept of Justice Sends Jordan's Way a Love Note

 Ready for the 40 IN 40 TOUR?! So is the California Department of Justice. Turns out Jordan's Way LLC wasn't registered there when it conducted fundraisers FOR PROFIT in 2022 and still isn't registered today despite having fundraisers scheduled this month.

California shelters and rescues: PROTECT YOURSELVES. Registration is the law!!

For Profit Jordan's Way not Registered in Colorado in 2022

Oopsie. Jordan's Way LLC wasn't registered in Colorado when it conducted fundraisers there FOR PROFIT in 2022. Jordan's Way finally registered for the 2023 fundraisers, but it seems the list of 3 shelters/rescues reported to the state doesn't match up with the list of fundraisers posted on social media.

Also, for those in the back.... this report clearly evidences yet again that these fundraisers are conducted by Jordan's Way LLC, a FOR PROFIT Florida company, not a charitable entity as claimed on the Jordan's Way website and social media.

Jordan's Way claims to be NonProfit with no Pennsylvania Registration

Tsk, tsk. Fundraisers conducted in Pennsylvania, but no Pennsylvania registration found. Pesky legal requirements for conducting commission-based fundraisers on behalf of actual nonprofits.

But, wait, there's more.... is Jordan's Way LLC going back to Pennsylvania for another round? It seems they've set up a whole new Facebook page this month with a big 'ol banner announcing their "non-profit" raising over 4 million dollars.

For the 800th time, the "Tour" is conducted by a FOR PROFIT company: Jordan's Way LLC. It is NOT a nonprofit. 25% of all donations paid to these fundraisers go to a FOR PROFIT company.

1 MILLION DOLLARS out of this 4 million didn't go to help dogs and cats, but instead helped line Kris Rotonda's pocket.

Jordan's Way says Nominated Shelters "Receive" a Fundraiser

Each shelter the for-profit business Jordan's Way LLC visits will "receive" a fundraiser...... for the low, low cost of $250+25% of all donations. Such a gift.

Jordan's Way "Charities" Dollar A Month Club Pays for.... What?

 DoNaTe! Join our Dollar-A-Month Club!!!!!!!! Jordan's Way is a nonprofit!!!

But.... in reality, Jordan's Way LLC, a for profit company, takes 25% of the money raised from each fundraiser, plus $250.

Let's do the math on just one of these fundraisers.

-Shelter pays $250 up front

-Shelter provides all supplies (hot dogs, whipped cream, etc.)

-Shelter "builds the momentum" for the fundraiser (using their existing donor base)

-Jordan's Way LLC conducts a 3-4 hour Facebook live and collects 25% of all donations brought in from the time the fundraiser is posted to 48 hours after the live fundraiser ends, whether those donations are made through Facebook or otherwise

-Estimated $12,000 in donations

=

Estimated $2,843 to Jordan's Way LLC (the FOR PROFIT entity) for ~6 hours of work (we're tossing in a generous 2 hours to account for prep/travel time since they normally do 3-4+ of these fundraisers in one state at a time). ~$473 an hour. Now, let's take into account that they do 3-4+ fundraisers in one state at a time.

Also, again, as of its last reporting, Jordan's Way "Charities" did not have a valid board of directors. The board consisted of Kris Rotonda and his father. Where are the donations going? What board is deciding how donations should be spent? What respectable charity supports a FOR PROFIT entity? Even better.... what respectable charity supports a FOR PROFIT entity that is run by one of its "board members"(Kris Rotonda)?

Kris Rotonda and his fake prosecutor girlfriend

Once upon a time, a rescue was shocked to receive a $10,000 invoice from Jordan's Way LLC, a FOR PROFIT company, as a result of the Facebook live fundraiser they thought Jordan's Way "Charities" was doing out of the kindness of their hearts... you know.... just like they say on the Upwork ads.

Well, the rescue wasn't going to pay up. Most of the donations came from the people operating the rescue, who obviously would not have donated just to have 25% go to a FOR PROFIT business instead of their dogs.

In response? A nice veiled threat from Kris about his "prosecutor" girlfriend just being sooooo pushy about him getting his invoice paid.

"We are doing this out of our own pockets, no sponsors, just a love for animals"

 New Jordan's Way ad for hired help (maybe they'll actually pay this one). But..... it gets better.

"We are doing this out of our own pockets, no sponsors, just a love for animals"

HAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Jordan's Way hates HSUS for being a scam.... pot, meet kettle.

 Pot, meet kettle.

If recent posts are true, Jordan's Way LLC has "raised" about $5 million doing its fundraisers in the past couple of years. That means Jordan's Way LLC, a FOR PROFIT company, has pocketed OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS from generous donors who wanted to help shelter pets.

That's right.... Jordan's Way LLC has pulled over a million dollars from the shelters and rescues that it purports to help.... just like Krissy complains about in this post. 25% of each fundraiser is paid to the for profit company Jordan's Way LLC, not a charity.

As per usual, Jordan's Way blurs the line between the "charity" and the for profit LLC with this posting. The "charity" with a board that was last known to consist of Kris Rotonda and his father. The "charity" that takes in donations outside of the tour fundraisers and spends those donations on..............?

Jordan's Way Employee Reports Not Getting Paid

Please consider helping Kelly Alexander, who per the GoFundMe page, got ripped off for her last three paychecks by Jordan's Way. Even worse, Ms. Alexander is disabled due to illness.

Considering Jordan's Way LLC collects a whopping 25% from each fundraiser they do, there should be plenty of money to pay Ms. Alexander for the work she did to help Jordan's Way pocket that money. Disgusting.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/kelly-alexander

PS: We hope Ms. Alexander is reporting this to the IRS and her state agencies. No one deserves to be treated this way.

Greg Edwards tells the truth about Kris Rotonda

Once upon a time, Greg Edwards, a "business partner" of Kris Rotonda/Jordan's Way, came on our page to tell us all about how we're soooooo wrong about Krissy and his heart of gold. Eh, well.........

PS: It's kind of funny that anyone ever thought Krissy cares about disabled people considering he tried to exploit his own disabled daughter to get on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Donate to Jordan's Way.... 25% commission isn't enough

DoNAtE!!!!

"The cost of traveling across the country just continues to increase."

But.... we take 25% of the money raised from each fundraiser, plus $250.

Let's do the math on just one of these fundraisers.

-Shelter pays $250 up front

-Shelter provides all supplies (hot dogs, whipped cream, etc.)

-Shelter "builds the momentum" for the fundraiser (using their existing donor base)

-Jordan's Way LLC conducts a 3-4 hour Facebook live and collects 25% of all donations brought in from the time the fundraiser is posted to 48 hours after the live fundraiser ends, whether those donations are made through Facebook or otherwise

-Estimated $12,000 in donations

=

Estimated $2,843 to Jordan's Way LLC (the FOR PROFIT entity) for ~6 hours of work (we're tossing in a generous 2 hours to account for prep/travel time since they normally do 3-4+ of these fundraisers in one state at a time). ~$473 an hour. Now, let's take into account that they do 3-4+ fundraisers in one state at a time. Seems like that travel should be more than covered.

Also, again, as of its last reporting, Jordan's Way "Charities" did not have a valid board of directors. The board consisted of Kris Rotonda and his father. Where are the donations going? What board is deciding how donations should be spent? What respectable charity supports a FOR PROFIT entity? Even better.... what respectable charity supports a FOR PROFIT entity that is run by one of its "board members"(Kris Rotonda)?

Shelters and Rescues block our page because they don't want to be honest about Jordan's Way

 Why are people blocked from the Jordan's Way page or from the shelter/rescue pages for asking about the 25% that Jordan's Way LLC, a for profit business, takes from the fundraisers?

Rescues/shelters, we know why Kris Rotonda doesn't want to be honest about the 25%, but what's your excuse? There are actually states that REQUIRE charities to disclose this kind of payment to potential donors when they ask.

Do better if you decide to make a deal with this snake. Shame on you for allowing the misleading "all donations go directly to the shelter/rescue" statement to be used when you know darn well 25% of each dollar donated is coming right back out and into the pocket of a for profit business.

Let's do the math on just one of these.

-Shelter pays $250 up front

-Shelter provides all supplies

-Shelter "builds the momentum" for the fundraiser

-Jordan's Way LLC conducts a 3-4 hour Facebook live and collects 25% of all donations brought in from the time the fundraiser is posted to 48 hours after the live fundraiser ends, whether those donations are made through Facebook or otherwise

-Estimated $12,000 in donations

=

Estimated $2,843 to Jordan's Way LLC for ~6 hours of work (we're tossing in a generous 2 hours to account for prep/travel time since they normally do 3-4+ of these fundraisers at a pop). ~$473 an hour, plus supplies, plus your time advertising this, to get donations from people who were likely already donating to your shelter/rescue. You may ask.... how do we know that? Well, the Jordan's Way page went down not too long ago and continued conducting fundraisers that did just as well as when the Jordan's Way page was up and functioning.

In the meantime, these shelters/rescues are advertising Jordan's Way, a for profit business, as though it's just a nice guy donating his time to host an event for their shelter. Then their donors can head over to the Jordan's Way page where it lists itself as a "charity" where they can join the $1 a month club.... where the donations go to..... ?

What a racket.

Jordan's Way pretends to make a "deal" with the New York Yankees

 YANKEES V. ASTROS!!! Who's a baseball fan?

Jordan's Way "Charities" sure was in 2019, when Kris Rotonda claimed that the New York Yankees were "finalizing a deal" with Jordan's Way. This amaaaaaaazing deal was just that the Yankees would donate $5 of each ticket purchased through a special link back to the participating organizations. It's a normal program they do to promote ticket sales for generally underattended games... not some special deal for Jordan's Way.

Again, in 2019, the Jordan's Way "Charities" 990 tax return says Jordan's Way Charities took in ZERO DOLLARS in donations. We've already shown you the 2019 direct money fundraisers that show income, including that very special calendar, but here's yet another fundraiser that may not have been reported to the IRS. Oops.

Jordan's Way claims a mysterious pet food company offered it a $500k match

 Can anyone enlighten us as to what "top dog food company" told Kris Rotonda if he raised $500,000 that they would then match those donations dollar for dollar?

It's especially odd that a secret "top" pet food company would offer this HUGE MATCH to a brand new business that didn't even file to change its LLC name from Max and Molly Charities to Jordan's Way "Charities" until 3 months later (4/2019).

Jordan's Way constantly touts its "sponsor" and "commitment" that Purina / Purina Dog Chow made to Jordan's Way "Charities"... or were those one time donations? Was Purina the top dawg who was going to bankroll Jordan's Way "Charities" if only they could raise $500k in two months?

Oh, and..... that $500k fundraiser was just another 2019 fundraiser that somehow didn't make it to the 2019 Jordan's Way "Charities" 990 tax filing, which reflects $0 in income.

Jordan's Way "Charities" 2021 990

 Received a copy of Jordan's Way "Charities" 2021 990 today. This is interesting.

Just over $13k in donations received (compared to the alleged "0" in 2020).

$19,100 given away in TREATS to animal shelters. Can any shelter verify that Jordan's Way Charities gave them treats and the value of such? Per people formerly associated with Jordan's Way, Jordan's Way requires the shelters on the tour to provide all supplies.

$29,306 in fundraising services???

And best of all, a $40,000 LOAN to the charity from Kris Rotonda, one of two board members. The other board member is Joseph Rotonda, apparently a family member, as Treasurer. Reminder: Florida requires a nonprofit organization to have at least 3 independent directors.

Jordan's Way is totally a nonprofit

 Don't worry everyone..... it's a "National Non Profit" that has those shelters pay 25% of money raised into a for-profit company (Jordan's Way LLC).

Jordan's Way Deserves Your Donation More Than Animal Shelters

Can they make it any more obvious that they aren't actually in this to help animals?

If you donate to Jordan's Way, your dollar goes FURTHER than it would if it goes DIRECTLY to an animal shelter.

And, again, each shelter on the tour pays 25% plus $250 to the for profit LLC Jordan's Way. What are these donations for and where are they going?

"Jordan's Way Charities" 2021 Board per filings with Florida consists solely of Kris Rotonda and a family member (Joseph Rotonda) as TREASURER. It doesn't even meet Florida's charity board requirements..... but keep sending those magical dollars that somehow help animals more than they would by going directly to the shelters.
