DT Institute responds to lawsuit allegations

WASHINGTON, DC. (April 21st, 2022): DT Institute, a US based nonprofit charitable organization, is a well-regarded implementer and funder in the international development space. As such, it takes the allegations contained in the District of Columbia’s Attorney General intervention complaint in the James Prince lawsuit very seriously.

We believe that the allegations that DT Institute has violated nonprofit and charitable law to enrich DT Global are without merit.  DT Institute has engaged in a productive discussion with the Office of the Attorney General of the District of Columbia to date and will continue doing so to address any concerns the office may have.

DT Institute looks forward to maintaining its primary focus and mission to partner with communities and leaders to help build and preserve more resilient, equitable, inclusive, and democratic societies. We are proud of the work that our grantees, staff and beneficiaries conduct globally, and we will continue supporting them.

We look forward to seeing this matter expeditiously brought to a close.
