Yeah, your ideological bent will guide what you think of this, but if you're sensible enough to recognize this, it is an issue.
Personally, to achieve the same stated goals of the program, there should be a fund with Treasury, managed by the DoJ, that is used for grants that can be applied for by organizations looking to perpetuate the same sort of goals the DoJ had in mind. Direct payments are never a good idea like that, and having a list at hand of organizations screams of accountability issues. But setting up as a grant programs allows any organization to apply for the funds if they are doing the type of work the DoJ was looking to further.
But that's just my two cents.
