The answer

"Whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance." Your friend must return the funds to the charitable organization in whose name they were collected, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The hand is responsible for what it takes until it returns it." If those in charge of the organization are negligent with the trust, then he should return the funds to the donors themselves.
