There’s been a ton of debate as to whether known swindler and Q profiteer, praying medic really has a legitimate charity. A search of IRS records shows no record of a praying medic charity or church. Likewise a search for any charity run by David Hayes comes up empty.
Odd…When you donate, he says Praying medic is a 508 charity
OK next we look up AZ corporations and again nothing. He’s been an paramedic there from 2015-2018
Well we know from his domestic abuse cases, which are all public record, that he used to live in WA, so we check there…AHA! There it is.
So let’s take a look at this charity. It was formed in 2018 in Washington State, a state in which he was no longer a resident. OK that’s a little odd…
Page 2 states that they have all federal rights and protections under the law. OK boilerplate stuff. However, to him, this is a tricky way to convince you he’s actually an IRS approved charity. As we’ve already seen he’s not.
Page 3 is interesting because it has all the members of the board. Oddly they all have the same address. I have redacted names, even though I don’t have to, for privacy reasons. OK maybe that’s a business address, you know a church or something….
Nope…it would appear this is just a modest home. OK. So he runs this ministry out of his house. Got it.
Next page is boiler plate indemnification. Not much to see here other than some blah blah blah.
More boiler plate stuff about Washington laws.
More boiler plate….
More boiler plate stuff, but the part about inspecting records could be interesting….
Just more boilerplate stuff of a registered agent.
Signature of incorporator. Nothing major other than he is the one who is supposed to get any service of process stuff when the “ministry” gets sued.
Now the big question here is when you live in AZ why do a charity in WA? I truly don’t have an answer for this but if anyone else has ideas… Maybe WA is the not for profit version of a Delaware Corp. I don’t know but it’s weird.
OK so he’s a real non profit in WA. Let’s take a look at what the state of WA says. I mean they vetted this, right? Oh wait…no This filing in no way says the state of WA makes sure this is a legitimate charity. Merely that they’ve filed all the requisite paperwork.
Ah why WA may be answered here. Many states have laws about charities and the % which has to actually go to the program’s supposed service. Not WA. Again Delaware of not for profits?
Lastly on this filing, here are the rules all WA non profits have to follow. I wonder how many of these he’s broken, aside from the 2nd one which has not been done as I have shown above.
So the charlatan does have a charity set up in WA. It’s at his house with a board. He is not, however registered through the IRS. His charity was set up in 2018 coincidentally right at the same time as he was growing popular with his Q analysis. 
The rules for a charity are very clear. As are the rules for using charity money for his promotion of Q. Unless Q is his religion and church, he CAN’T solicit donations and use that money to raise additional money selling Q merchandise, doing a superchat on youtube, etc.
This will be a work in progress. If anyone else out there in the twtterwebs has anything to add feel free. Him being a charity and all, I wonder if you can write off his costs of defending you in the court of heaven as he claims to have done. What’s the retainer?
Update...well this is an old update but bears being added to this thread.
When I did the posts, this was his website.

Less than 1 week later, there was no mention of his 508 status...it's still nowhere to be found on his site anymore.
