THE LILY JAY FILES | CHARITY SCAM? | AI MANIPULATION OR NOT? | TRANSPARENCY @LilyJay

The Lily Jay Foundation registered its first ABN in 2025, but at the bottom of the foundation's website is the admission that it is not an actual charity. "Lily Jay Foundation is a next-generation social enterprise and high-speed humanitarian logistics firm executing rapid aid deployment in global crisis zones," it read. "To maintain absolute speed and independence, we operate as a private commercial structure funded by voluntary project sponsorships, which fuel our high-speed supply chain and are currently not tax-deductible." Mr Costello said generally speaking an organisation's unregistered charity status could raise significant concerns. He said the formalities around registered charity status existed for a reason. "It is required under statutory law to declare all receipts of money and expenditure of money so the public can have confidence in that when they give." It is unclear how much money has been donated to the Lily Jay Foundation since it began, and there is no transparency about exactly how and where it has been spent.
