Yes, you probably do have some recourse. Your donative intent controls what can be done with the donation. There may be issues of what that intent was at the time the donation was made, which would need to be considered. I, personally, believe you would have a good claim. I suggest you visit with a reputable attorney in your area. Unfortunately, you will be out the cost of the attorneys fees to persue it. Perhaps, a strongly worded letter from the attorney would be sufficient to dislodge the founder of the idea that he can keep it for himself.
