Brittany Murphy Foundation Returns Donations

The Brittany Murphy Foundation has re-opened its website after a story broke about the foundation being unlicensed this weekend — and promises to give back all the donations people made while it figures out that whole “we weren’t really a charity” thing.

Reportedly, the foundation — run by Brittany Murphy’s husband, Simon Monjack and mother, Sharon Murphy — hadn’t filed the necessary documents to qualify as a charity or nonprofit group. As soon as we called the foundation for comment, the website immediately shut down.

But late Sunday the website resurfaced with a message — it would return all the donations “until we have our non-profit status approved before proceeding to insure that we can truly honor Brittany’s charitable desires.”
