From The Associated Press 27 August 2015:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Every year when they do their taxes, Californians donate millions for charitable causes, but nearly $10 million of that money sat unspent in government accounts at the end of last year and some of the funding never reaches its intended target, according to a review by The Associated Press. ...The AP reviewed a decade of financial records for 29 funds that collected a total of $35 million since 2005; almost $10 million remained at the end of 2014. In some cases, the donations have ended back in state coffers.
