Case Study: Philando Castile Relief Foundation protects fundraising integrity with Taft Law

Philando Castile Relief Foundation uncovers $120,000 missing with Taft Law

The Philando Castile Relief Foundation, a charity honoring a school nutrition worker, faced a challenge when a professor's crowdfunding campaign raised $200,000 in its name but allegedly misappropriated the funds. The foundation engaged Taft Law to help investigate and recover the missing money intended for school nutrition services and families affected by gun violence.

Taft Law conducted a thorough investigation, contacting the school district and the university to demand a full accounting of the funds. After these requests were refused, Taft assisted the foundation in filing a formal complaint with the Attorney General. As a result of Taft Law's efforts, the Attorney General filed a lawsuit alleging that over $120,000 was misappropriated for personal use, bringing accountability and justice for the charity.
