The Ohio Attorney General’s Charitable Law Section also investigates charitable organiza- tions. The Section regularly receives complaints about lax controls and misuse of funds at char- ities and it launches investigations when prob- lems are suspected or discovered, and the office has broad authority to take action to protect or recover charitable assets. Board members who scheme to defraud donors or charities may face civil as well as criminal actions to recover lost resources.
Complaints can be filed online at www.
OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov, mailed to the Charitable Law Section at 150 E. Gay St., Columbus, OH 43215, or individuals can call 1-800-282-0515 to report any suspicious chari- ties or solicitations.
