Clinton Foundation Spent Less Than 6 Percent On Charitable Grants In 2014

The tax-exempt organization's grants to charitable organizations declined by 40 percent between 2013 and 2014.

The Clinton Foundation spent less than 6 percent of its budget on charitable grants in 2014, according to documents the organization filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 2015.

During the 2014 tax year, the tax-exempt foundation spent a total of $91.2 million, but less than $5.2 million of that money, or 5.7 percent, was granted to charitable organizations, the group’s tax filings show. The Clinton Foundation raised nearly $178 million in 2014. The organization’s charitable grants also declined significantly when compared to its donations in 2013. Compared to its 2013 charitable grants of $8.8 million, the Clinton Foundation’s grants in 2014 declined by more than 40 percent, even as its revenue over the same period increased by 20 percent. According to the tax filings, the Clinton Foundation is currently sitting on $354 million in assets, including $125 million in cash or cash equivalents and $108 million in property or equipment.

The tax records, which were filed with the IRS in November of 2015, show that the Clinton Foundation spent far more on overhead expenses like travel ($7.9 million) than it did on charitable grants in 2014. The group also spent more on rent and office supplies (a total of $6.6 million) than it did on charitable grants. The Clinton Foundation’s IRS forms show that even its depreciation expense ($5.3 million) — an accounting classification that takes into account the wear and tear of an organization’s assets — exceeded the tax-exempt organization’s charitable grant outlays.

Report: Clinton Foundation donors give $216M, get seats to White House dinners

http://www.yahoo.com/finance/video/report-clinton-foundation-donors-216m-213407940.html

As many as 205 Clinton Foundation donors, who collectively contributed a whopping $216 million since 2009, were honored with prestigious seats at least one White House State Dinner, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.

The investigation also found that at least 15 of the Clinton Foundation's corporate donors, who contributed $47 million, bagged invitations to two or more official state dinners.

It was also discovered that the invitations were not sent out from the White House, but the Department State's Office of Protocol, which constitutes of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's loyalists.

Dennis Cheng, who was working as Clinton's protocol deputy chief, is believed to have "walked away" with the prized donors list before he joined the Clinton Foundation as chief fundraiser. Cheng is now Hillary's national fundraiser and is leading her presidential bid to raise $2 billion. He is also referred to as "Hillary Clinton's $2 billion money man," according to The Daily Beast.

96 Percent Of Hillary’s Charitable Donations In 2015 Went To Clinton Foundation


Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill deducted $1,042,000 in charitable contributions last year — $1 million of which went to their own family non-profit, the Clinton Family Foundation.


Clinton released her tax forms on Friday in a move that is seen as a way to pressure Donald Trump to release his taxes. The GOP nominee has refused to release the records, saying that he is under a routine audit.

The documents show that the power couple earned $10,745,378 last year, mostly on income earned from giving public speeches.

(Correction: This article initially identified the Clinton non-profit that received the bulk of the Clintons’ charitable donations as the Clinton Foundation. The $1 million contribution actually went to the Clinton Family Foundation. The Clintons control the entity, but it is separate from the Clinton Foundation.)<more>
