Carney Co-Founders Face Sentencing | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Two nonprofit co-founders in Springdale, Jason and Lacey Carney, face October sentencing after pleading guilty to federal fraud charges tied to misusing over $2.3 million in donor funds meant for Africa-focused work. Jason, the organization’s top executive, admitted to conspiracy, tax fraud, and structuring violations. Their case has drawn local attention as it exposes how charitable trust can be betrayed — forcing donors to reconsider where their generosity lands. Sentencing hearings are scheduled for October 14th, with Lacey’s at 1:30 PM and Jason’s at 3:00 PM — a moment that could reshape accountability in nonprofit spaces.
