BOSTON — Monica Cannon-Grant, the founder of the nonprofit Violence in Boston, plans to plead guilty to federal charges of defrauding people who donated to her organization.

In a one-page document filed in federal court in Boston on Friday, Canon-Grant requested a change of plea hearing.

Cannon-Grant faces a 27-count indictment on charges including wire fraud, mail fraud, making false statements, and filing false tax returns, among other offenses.

Federal investigators have alleged that Cannon-Grant, and her husband, Clark Grant, “solicited and received over $1 million in donations and grants from individuals, charitable institutions and other entities.”

The indictment alleged that Cannon-Grant and her husband spent much of that money on themselves, including paying auto and insurance bills, extravagant nail salon trips, high-priced dinners, and a vacation to Maryland, among other financial transactions.

“The couple allegedly also received nearly $54,000 in pandemic relief funds into their charity’s bank account, but spent much of that on themselves as well.”

This happens to nearly ALL “nonprofits”.

Take a look at the Clinton Foundation where 94% of the proceeds go to pay executive salaries (three people, Bill, Hillary and Chelsea). /spit

She didn’t spend the money on clothes. Most pics of her , she is wearing a sweatshirt or a hoodie.

Her husband probably spent it on liquor and keeping his hoes looking good. This biotch was slumming around, running her fat mouth, looking ghetto and trashy.

“””This happens to nearly ALL “nonprofits”.

Which is why I never donate to the “charities”.

Like the American Cancer Society who provides a nice pension plan for their employees.

As illustrated above, the organization’s largest expense is compensation-related. $456 million (or $56 our of every $100 in revenue) was spent on the 6,679 employees, which equates to an average compensation of $68,000. However, 368 individuals received more than $100,000 in compensation with the highest compensation given to the former COO, Gregory P Bontrager, who received more than $2.3 million, followed by the outgoing SVP for Field, Joseph C Cahoon who received nearly $1 million.

So... Collecting money for a ‘nonprofit’ and then spending it on your own bills and entertainment is illegal?

Then... Why are the Clinton’s not in jail?

a non profit does not make money but everyone of the executives and board makes a fortune. Non-profits are huge money making scams.

She IS a ghettopotamus, actually. In this case, that’s right.
