Brooklyn, NY – The former executive director of a Brooklyn non-profit organization supporting Black Trans individuals has been indicted for grand larceny and falsifying business records. It is alleged that she misappropriated nearly $100,000 intended for an indigent bail program for personal use.
District Attorney Eric Gonzalez stated that the misusing of non-profit funds impacts communities and violates donor trust. The suspect allegedly used the bail funds for personal benefits, including a closet renovation and car payments.
Dominique Morgan, 42, from Atlanta, Georgia, has been charged with one count of second-degree grand larceny and 23 counts of first-degree falsifying business records. She was arraigned on Friday and released without bail, with a court date set for December 18.
The indictment alleges that Morgan, while serving as Executive Director of the OKRA Project, transferred approximately $99,000 to her personal account under the pretense of funding a bail initiative that never materialized. She allegedly produced fraudulent bail receipts for individuals who were not detained.
