Admittedly, I don't know much about this story. But a little bit of poking around with Google news seems to suggest that the $450 million won't simply be dropped into a slush fund. If this article is to be believed, the money will be divided up in what appears to be a fairly satisfactory way:
Of the $450 million provided for meritorious initiatives under the agreement, the United States Endowment for Forestry and Communities, Inc. was identified to receive $200 million, the American Forest Foundation was identified to receive $150 million, and Habitat for Humanity International was identified to receive $100 million.
Let's hope this turns out to be the way the money is used.
