Jennifer Woodley, 40, was booked at the Polk County Jail in Des Moines on Thursday on two counts of first-degree theft and the unauthorized use of a credit card.

Months after becoming its leader, Woodley secretly awarded herself a $10,000 bonus in October 2019 that had not been approved by the board, according to criminal complaints unsealed Friday.

Woodley also made 84 unauthorized purchases on an organization credit card that were for her personal use, totaling more than $23,000 over a 10-month span, the complaints state. Woodley allegedly did not reimburse the group for those expenses.

Jail records list Woodley's new address as Winston Salem, North Carolina, where her husband, Matt Woodley, is an assistant basketball coach at Wake Forest. The couple has had two daughters who have required brain surgery, and one of them received a trip to Walt Disney World through Make-A-Wish Iowa before Woodley was hired as CEO.

These people always talk a way in to power and their ego eventually catches up with them.

Outside of Shriners and Ronald McDonald house I can’t think of a “charity” that isn’t a scam in one way or another.

I think you could add St Jude to your exception list.

Right now there are hundreds of charity CEOs doing millions in back door brother in law deals with kickbacks etc.

She kicked herself an unauthorized $10k bonus and abused the credit card. Seems like more of a firable offense than a felony criminal case.

If she has cancer, then she can fight this as long as it counts as her wish.

That’s why I never give to the big name “non-profits”. They always have stories like this.

Honestly, I assume all non profits have some type of mismanaging of funds (embezzlement, fraud, etc) going on. It might not be the best way to look at things,

If in the right position, its just too tempting for a lot of people.
