The problem is, the organization has yet to be picked up as a non-profit foundation or charity by the goverment. "Please be aware that we are currently working towards establishing a non-profit foundation for Go Shout Love, but at this time do not hold a 501c3 status," the fine print claims.

When funds started to run low, they
turned to their fans to help keep the cash cow going. They began selling merchandise with the Duggar name plastered on clothing, not to mention, asking fans to donate to the Duggar Studios YouTube channel—claiming "every contribution is helpful, big or smell," so that the family can keep creating "fresh quality content."

When backlash came from fans about the donate button all over their family pages, the button was quickly removed. Now fans are asking: Since it didn't work out for the 19 Kids & Counting brood, is Amy trying to help them now with her fan base?
