In response an article in the LA times: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2022-12-20/alexandra-grant-art-coffee-table-book
I invite @deborahvankin to read the reviews of Alexandra Grant’s book on goodreads.
Ms. Vankin interviewed Alexandra Grant & has written an article for the @latimes_entertainment
The article reports that grantLOVE has generated more than $300,000 for U.S. & international nonprofits & quotes @roxanegay74 asserting the project may be small, but “it is mighty, with incredible reach, a powerful mission, and a ferocious heart.”
The amount donated, be it $1000 or $5,000,000 is impactful, but more importantly, people should be able to trust the words of the person seeking donations & can verify where it’s going. In California, all charity collections are required to be registered & financial reports submitted yearly.
grantLOVE has been in operation for 14 years but was only registered in 2021 after receiving a letter from the Attorney General’s office stating that the charity was unlawful until it is properly registered.
For many years, Grant claimed that grantLOVE is a nonprofit. This info was written on her CV & given to media outlets in the US & abroad to publish which is tantamount to committing international fraud with $300,000 being collected unlawfully until a year ago.
Ms. Grant is aware of the criticisms of her unlawful charity & had to update her CV & made a statement on her website that grantLOVE is not a nonprofit.
Why did Alexandra Grant leave out this important part of grantLOVE history? Was it an oversight or was it easier not to follow the law & not be transparent? After lying about grantLOVE being a nonprofit for years, are we supposed to just take her at her word that she has donated $300,000?
Will Ms. Vankin be brave enough to do a part 2 by asking the real questions or allow con-artists to continue scamming people through a philanthropy that was illegal for over 12 years?
