Organizations introduced an Archwell impact report that seems to vanish in tax form, leaving many wondering about the actual funding provided.
Archwell Fork Station, established by Harry & Meghan in 2020, recently released its new 2022-23 impact report, showcasing its charitable efforts and contributions through a video.
The report highlights various initiatives, including 3,176 hours of trauma-informed mental health support in Turkey and Syria following a tragic earthquake, menstrual product distribution and health education for 2,500 girls in Nigeria, and community-building projects like the Welcome Project, which brought together 237 women and engaged 109 families in listening projects.
However, the missing piece of the puzzle is the amount of funding that Archwell actually provided to these causes.
Interestingly, the tax report posted just a few hours after the impact report does not coincide with or mention any specific funding amounts.
This raises doubts about whether the organizations claimed to be partnered with by Archwell are actually receiving any financial support from them.
It appears that the majority of the report is self-promotion and self-aggrandizement, with their grants being unimpressive even when they actively promoted their Archwell work.
It is likely that the true picture will only emerge when the 2023 numbers are revealed.
It seems that Archwell is no longer genuinely interested in making a difference through their organization; perhaps it has become too challenging, or they have grown bored with it, as even dedicating one hour a week seems to be too much for them.
In addition to their impact report, the Harkles (Harry and Meghan) also released a report claiming to promote information, integrity, and access to ethical journalism, particularly in light of Scobie’s Translategate drama.
However, it is important to note that a self-produced impact report is essentially a PR brochure and does not provide a comprehensive view of their financial forms.
These forms, which have not yet been released, would reveal where the money is actually going and how much is being donated.
As you read through the report, pay attention to the usual buzzwords that indicate minimal involvement beyond PR, such as partnered with, supported, highlighted, uplifted, dialogue and conversations, encouraged, shined a light, and promoted.
It becomes evident that their welcome project, for example, claims that 98.8% of participants have developed meaningful relationships.
One can’t help but wonder if Harry and Meghan had discussions about whether to state 98.8% or 98.6%, as they try to portray themselves in the best possible light.
It is worth noting that this project is not even theirs; they are merely highlighting it and using its numbers in their report.
This pattern is reminiscent of last year’s report, where a significant portion of Archwell’s achievements seemed to be the work of other organizations and projects.
It appears that these individuals donate small amounts to organizations, benefiting from tax write-offs, and then claim credit for the entirety of the organization’s work.
This behavior is similar to their use of Costner’s charity event to promote themselves.
This recent development comes amid growing pressure on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to deliver in 2024, as Hollywood reportedly grows tired of them.
The couple’s business ventures have faced challenges this year, including the termination of their lucrative Spotify deal.
Mark Bukowski, one of Britain’s most seasoned crisis managers, has suggested that a change is necessary as their brand is not resonating.
In an interview with the Mail Online, he stated, “I think 2024 is going to be seismic, either because they’re going to do something to recover and find a new positive tactic, or it’s going to be the undoing of the brand.
It can only go one or two ways.
It can’t stay where it is at the moment, because it’s clearly not working.”
