From CBS Connecticut:
The National Atheist Party is canceling its secular convention due to a lack of funding.
Troy Boyle, the party’s president, announced on its website won’t be holding NAPCON 2012 in Boston in October because it would bankrupt the group.
“After this year’s amazing Reason Rally, and flush with our
successful recruiting and a spike in donations, we decided to hold our
OWN secular event. NAPCON 2012 was supposed to be our biggest and best
public event; our chance to show the U.S. that we could fund and
organize a large, noteworthy and impressive ‘Secular Summit’ that would
attract media buzz and even more interested members and donations. The
reality is that we can’t,” Boyle said in the press release. “The
donations simply aren’t there and if we went ahead with the event as
planned, it would bankrupt us.”

Now, if they were a God fearing Church, they probably wouldn't have this problem, but of course, that would defeat the purpose of their organization.
