Original start up money came from GSDCA members who wanted to support GSDCA on an international level. A bit more history. I reviewed the IRS rules when the WDA was formed and warned the board about too many of the GSDCA board members being the WDA board members, and for a couple of years they were kept separate. Then after a few years it went back to having most of the same directors. Now it seems to be a practice that when the GSDCA president is done, he or she becomes the president of the WDA.e I have been a member of the WDA since the start, but resigned this year because of what I perceive as being a violation of the by-laws. I probably will continue to donate each year, but I understand they do have a healthy treasury, so maybe they won't need donations. I do support the club, but hate what is going on now. And why a GSDCA president would become the president of WDA. I can't imagine why.
