Charity responsible for stadium-area grants forced to return money
A local charity responsible for helping communities near FedEx Field in Landover was forced to return more than $500,000 in Prince George’s grant money Thursday, and county officials have stopped future payments until the organization’s problems are resolved.
County auditors said the Central Prince George’s County Community Development Corp., a nonprofit organization based in Largo responsible for distributing $500,000 annually in county grant money to community groups, suffers from mismanagement and missing funds. The audit report cited the organization’s failure to file tax returns with the IRS and questions about a former board member who set up several bank accounts without the organization’s knowledge.
