Investigation finds dead CEO misappropriated money from Manchester charities

CONCORD — A state probe of two Manchester charities found failings in financial oversight and misappropriation of funds following the suicide of a top officer in both organizations last September.

Relatives of Donny Guillemette, former CEO and president of CareGivers Inc., reported him missing on Sept. 11, just days after the Attorney General’s Charitable Trusts Unit (CTU) issued a subpoena to him and others in the organization for failing to file annual reports in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

With his disappearance, CTU immediately subpoenaed the organization’s bank records, authorities said. Guillemette’s body was discovered in Merrimack on Sept. 16.

On Friday, CTU revealed findings of its months-long investigation into the organization, which include misappropriation of money and failure on the part of the organization’s then-board of directors to oversee Guillemette and the charity’s finances.
