Jirard is a YouTuber who runs a channel known as the Completionist, where he plays games to 100% completion and reviews them based on how enjoyable the experience was.

The Open Hand Foundation, which was co-founded by Jirard in 2014, was set up to raise money for dementia charities after his dementia-stricken mother passed away. However, their yearly filings with the IRS suggest that none of this money has been donated to charity.

Jacque (Jirard's brother) responded to Karl's emails to the Open Hand Foundation claiming that they are still searching for the correct charity to partner with and disburse these funds, whereas Jirard claimed that he was only aware that none of the funds had gone out last year, yet is still openly promoting Open Hand on stream and claiming they support the UCSF, Alzheimer's Association, the AFTD and many other charities.

I really want to see his response

Muta talks to him during his video, I think. Response is basically "I had no clue" mixed with some vague excuses, including some that clearly contradict what was said before.

And then does the "But I don't know how to fix this, so if you have any idea...", as if, you know, donating the fucking money is such a difficult thing to do. And like Muta says, they don't even detail their operating expenses, so any accountant could have a field day with that.
