Stacey Abrams Charity Has a $500,000 Problem In Its Latest Tax Filing
Experts say that more than half a million dollars are missing from the New Georgia Project. This discrepancy is grounds for federal and state investigations into the Stacey Abrams-founded group as well as the woman Abrams selected to manage it.
The New Georgia Project filed its 2021 Form 990 financial disclosure in January, two months after the form was due to the IRS, and three months after the charity’s board chairman fired CEO Nse Ufot, Abrams’s hand-picked leader for the group. The Disclosure, the New Georgia Project reports a $533,846 consulting payment and a $67,500 grant to the Black Male Initiative, an obscure charity run in part by Ufot’s BrotherEdima, a former employee of New Georgia Project.
However, the Black Male Initiative insists that it did not receive any consulting payments. The group provided the Washington Free Beacon With its IRS financial disclosuresIts 2021 consulting income was $0 and contributions from all sources were only $255,000
The missing money is the latest ethical problem facing the embattled charity. The Free Beacon reported in November that the New Georgia Project was in turmoil as former senior staff accused the group’s leadership of engaging in rampant financial misconduct. And Georgia’s state ethics commission Allegations The group illegally worked for Abrams’ election during her failed 2018 gubernatorial campaign.
“This is something that the Internal Revenue Service should be interested in,” Alan Dye is a non-profit attorney who told the Free Beacon “particularly with the added element of the former officer possibly pocketing the money.”
“Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark,” Dye said that it was a crime to knowly file false statements with the federal government.
Founded by Abrams in 2013, New Georgia Project has served as the poster child of the Democrat’s efforts to turn Georgia blue by expanding the state’s non-white electorate. It and the New Georgia Project Action Fund affiliated are two of the largest left-leaning voter registration efforts in the nation, raising $54.7 million between 2020 and now.
NseUfot, a Nigerian community organizer, was central to this effort. Ufot claimed Abrams was alive in Canada in 2014. She was convinced To head the New Georgia Project, she packed up and moved to Georgia. Her tenure with the New Georgia Project ended abruptly in October 2022 when she was fired under mysterious circumstances.
