Curious so to what the Foundation's reasoning would be for ignoring these requests. Too busy?

Seems about as thorough as you can ask for before simply running the story on the part of CBC. It really is sad that people in this thread can actually try to brush this off as inefficient but not terrible.
There are organizations like kidsport, veterans food banks etc basically shutting down in this city over a few hundred thousand charitable dollars that have dried up over the last while, but it's ok the Flames Foundation is withholding and/or funneling away millions (maybe more) that might otherwise make it's way to places like these?
