That said, that still leaves a whole year where both brothers were just sitting on the money. If they really are looking for "the right place" to donate the money to, they'd better pick a place/places fast and get that money out.

Sorry I don’t know much about these guys and how they operate, so it may need explaining, but that rings alarm bells for me. Why didn’t they know and communicate that with everyone donating to begin with? I’m not sure I’d have parted with any money if I didn’t know upfront where it was going.

Jirard was asked essentially that by Mutahar and Karl and he said that the foundation was "looking for the right place to donate it to that aligns with our values", and that when he found out, there was internal conflict within the foundation about when and where to donate, with Jirard himself, by his own account, being in favor of getting the money out sooner than later. Unfortunately, that just led to further delays. Just terrible incompetence by all parties involved.

Of course, none of that involved any public disclosure of the issue, nor did it prevent them from continuing to raise donations for their charity.
