Hmong-Everything,
Sounds like you got issues with 18 Clan Council. if you are too worried that they are making a real killing of getting money from the government then you better think again. If you think they are charging too much...have you ask yourself or put yourself in their shoes. Have you thought about the fact that it takes money to run a business aspect of things, buying office supplies, having phone bills, running errands between disputes etc. Obviously you are a person who has no business insight and one who does not understand what is needed to run a business. Most of the board members are working for free.
Now lets get down to the nitty gritty of things. Do you have a copy of their tax return? How much money do they receive from donors and the government? Do you have numbers to make your case a legitimate one or are you just offended that they won't help for "free-free". We all know that if its a matter of great concern, money will pop out anywhere and everywhere. Last time I was made aware of things, this 18 Clan Council was at the brink of having 0 balance at the bank to run the service that they promise to help the community. They have very little money because no one donates and everyone thinks it should be a totally-free service. And as far as I was made aware, each board member had to chip in money to make ends meet. I must say though, those running 18 Clan Council need financial advise and they need donations. I'm sure if you donate a couple hundred of dollars, they will listen to you though.
