Donor relevance
Why this matters
KEYS Empowers received more than $4.7 million in government contracts and grants during the 2023 and 2024 tax years, according to reporting cited by CBS. Unexplained federal activity and the executive director's departure from a public oversight role create material governance and public-funding concerns.
