Favre 4 Hope, which receives public donations, reportedly gave the USM Athletic Foundation $60,000 in 2018, when the charity’s other beneficiaries received $10,000 each. The USM Athletic Foundation received $46,817 in 2019, with the Special Olympics of Mississippi receiving $11,000, the next-highest donation. In 2020, The USM Athletic Foundation received $26,175 from Favre 4 Hope, and no other organization was given more than $10,000.
“He has been very generous to Southern Miss since he played ball there,” Favre’s attorney Bud Holmes told ESPN. “Those particular things I don’t know, but I know he has always given back, something most athletes don’t do.” “There’s the letter of the law, there’s the spirit of the law, and it’s something where it would probably be tough to make a legal case but it still doesn’t look good,” Rick Cohen, chief operating officer of the National Council of Nonprofits, told the Athletic. “It isn’t unheard of for a nonprofit to expand its mission or change its mission over time if they find they need to redirect. That does not seem to be the case here.
He is among the subjects of a civil suit filed by the state of Mississippi but hasn’t been charged criminally. He has denied any wrongdoing and returned $1.1 million to the state, which says he owes $228,000 in interest on the money.
