🧵GHF Connections: Sentinel Foundation's Financial Flows, Leadership Conflicts, and Unreported IRS Disclosures
How a veteran-led nonprofit moved donor funds amid overlapping boards and missing grant reporting
Quoted thread details the GHF pipeline and SF's central role:
1. SF was co-founded in 2019 by Green Beret veteran Jameson Govoni and Army investigator Glenn Devitt - both with 11 years of military service and a decade-long friendship.

2. Founder Glenn Devitt publicly thanked Senators Lindsey Graham and Markwayne Mullin on Instagram for assisting SF's nov. 2023 Gaza operations (Govoni was there, insta: ). instagram.com/p/Czr7sFSreUl/
3. As VP of Stop Soldier Suicide, Devitt worked with Senator Mullin on veteran mental health. While serving as CTO at SSS - where he founded the Black Box Project - Devitt simultaneously led SF's Gaza operations.

4. In an Oct. 2024 interview (Ed Clay Show), Devitt stated SF coordinated with Senators Lindsey Graham and Markwayne Mullin to evacuate Americans from Gaza, noting: ‘We work very tightly with these Senators when there’s Americans stuck.’
5. In Mach 2023-while operating SF-Govoni co-founded PMC UG and registered five related ‘UG’ entities (UG Holdings, UG Swamp), all at the same North Carolina postal address. Simultaneously, he and Devitt launched for-profit ventures including Alcohol Armor

6. AA grew from $250K to a projected $3M (2024). Despite claims of risky international rescues, SF reported $3.4M in 2023 - entirely from donations, with $0 in service income or foreign activity. Over $1.1M went to salaries, with no evidence of field work or measurable impact.
7. SF began as a two-man operation with no paid staff. By 2022, it expanded to five salaried employees drawing over $1M annually. In 2023, five additional names appeared on payroll while revenue peaked at $3.4M- closer examination of its filings reveals multiple red flags🔻
8.🔻2020 IRS Form 990-EZ Line 1 instructions mandate reporting ALL grants when received - yet SF omitted TTF's $247,250 unrestricted 2020 grant, underreporting contributions by $81,750, a filing violation.

9.🔻In 2022, SF paid $250K to (added) PMC-linked staff (Jolly/Cipriani) and $300K to its founders while running a $224K deficit - raising alarms about charitable funds propping up for-profit UG Solutions, a potential violation of IRS private benefit rules.

10. In 2023, Daily's Foundation (run by Aubrey Edge) publicly reported a $150,000 grant to SF Foundation. Aubrey Edge and Max Glober are: Directors of SF AND also executives at DF.

11. Per 2023 Schedule L Instructions (pp. 2–4), SF was required to disclose the $150K DF's grant on Schedule L because Edge/Glober are ‘interested persons’ as directors, and the transaction exceeded $100K-regardless of their unpaid status.
12. 🔻SF's Schedule O claims about conflict policies are irrelevant - IRS rules mandate Schedule L disclosure for DF's $150K grant to SF (again where DF's leaders are directors), and SF's failure to file might constitutes willful noncompliance.

13. SF's 2023 990 lists 'Andrew Gunther' as President while internal documents and Robbins Foundation filings correctly identify him as 'Andrew Guenther'-a recurring reporting inconsistency that obscures his dual leadership of both nonprofits receiving/sending six-figure grants.
14. SF failed to disclose a $132K 2023 grant from RF - whose president (Andrew GuEnther) also leads SF - mirroring SF's prior omissions.

15. DF funneled $150K to SF in 2023-while also donating $150K to Tim Tebow Foundation (TTF), which then funded SF and SF-linked Operation Light Shine (OLS), creating an unreported financial triangle between interlocked nonprofits.
16. Matthew Murphy’s move from Operation Light Shine (OLS) - which received $4.5M from TTF - to leading SF suggests a coordinated funding shift, with no disclosure of his ongoing ties to OLS or potential grant diversion, violating IRS conflict rules.

17. Matthew Murphy's ties to multiple SF board members and affiliates form a broader network of interest - worthy of its own thread.
18. SF is the hub of two opaque financial networks:
(1) a Daily’s-TTF-SF triangle hiding director conflicts, and
(2) a Murphy-led OLS-TTF-SF pipeline suggesting grant diversion- both possibly violating IRS disclosure rules.
