Prince George's County leaders demand return of $7.6 million from Edward Charles Foundation and seek an independent investigation
Prince George's County Executive Aisha Braveboy and County Council Chair Krystal Oriadha demanded the return of approximately $7.6 million awarded to the Edward Charles Foundation as fiscal sponsor for Community on the Frontline, according to NBC4 Washington and a county announcement. Braveboy requested an independent examination of how county funds were used, where remaining funds are held, what services were documented and what fiscal-sponsor fees were charged. The request followed reported concerns about the county grant program and is not a finding that the foundation misused funds.
