Partly correct. He's not open to fans' ideas if the fans are going to be in charge of the scheme. However, if it's a good idea he'll take it and claim it as his own.

This whole 'foundation' scheme was proposed to him years ago but it was to be run by fans who were never going to allow him to take it so it was immediately rejected. Few years later and a weaker bunch of fans set it up in basically the same format, except that 100% of monies raised went to him. He allowed the second proposal then took it off the people who did the dirty work - by the way those people can't say they weren't warned.
