That’s not how the program works.
Her foundation is separate from the local orgs that actually fulfill the books.
Her foundation pays for overhead, book curation, admin costs, licensing deals, negotiating wholesale pricing for the books, coordinates mailing, etc. The local organization that is a partner member then handles enrolling the kids locally and pays for the books for their area.
Why spout shit you know nothing about??
This is the state of Tennessee funding the books for kids in Tennessee. That’s it. The same way Missouri used to do it before the new governor cut the budget for it earlier this year.
The state government also already covered half the costs of the program for the state. This is just some extra funding to cover the rest so that it doesn’t have to come from private funding.
