Prince George's County officials sought the return of $7.6 million from Edward Charles Foundation and requested an outside investigation
Prince George's County Executive Aisha Braveboy and County Council Chair Krystal Oriadha asked the California-based Edward Charles Foundation to return $7.6 million, plus any other unspent county money received as fiscal sponsor for Community on the Frontline. Braveboy also requested an outside investigation into how the public money was used and what fees the foundation charged. The request followed questions about the grant-selection process and Community on the Frontline's ties to Oriadha.
