Within the last nine months the charity has recruited a CEO, two public policy managers, a head of communications and a fundraising manager.
Asked about the donations, the charity repeated in a statement that it would “respect these wishes” for anonymity.
It is understood that no members of the Russell family have received any money from the donation.
After approaching the family’s solicitor, a statement was released saying: “Following the coroner’s inquest into Molly’s death, we have decided that we will pursue the aims we share with Meta and Pinterest through the Molly Rose Foundation to help ensure young people have a positive experience online, instead of pursuing legal action. We, Molly’s family, have always made clear that we would never accept compensation consequent upon Molly’s death.”
