The head of a small Great Barrier Reef charity caught in the eye of a political storm wasn't aware the federal government performed any checks before handing over $444 million in taxpayer funds.

Great Barrier Reef Foundation managing director Anna Marsden reportedly says no-one from the government contacted her - or anyone else in the charity - about the due diligence checks.
