Clinton Foundation only gives 15 percent of donations to charities, IRS concern

The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation – originally named the William J. Clinton Foundation – is refiling at least five tax returns and may have its books audited for as far back as 15 years after recent concerns over the contributed finances of the organization have been raised near and far, according to Reuters on Thursday. The organization is said to be a non-profit foundation established by former United States President Bill Clinton with the organization’s mission to be to strengthen the capacity of people throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence. Now, it has been asserted that of the millions of dollars that the Clinton Foundation has received, only a miniscule 15 percent of the donations to the organization has actually gone to charitable organizations.

Disturbing details of the finances of the Clintons Foundation were reported upon by Rush Limbaugh, the controversial talk radio show host, on Thursday. He asserts that much of the 85 percent of the millions of dollars that do not end up in the hands of charities have undefined destinations. In fact, 60 percent of the money donated to the Clintons is categorized as “other.” Knowing this, consider that that the Clinton Foundation’s IRS filings show that it raised more than $500 million between 2009 and 2012. The Federalist publication has published that only 15 percent – or only $75 million – was spent on charity. In excess of $25 million was spent on travel expenses and approximately $110 million went toward employee salaries and benefits, according to Free Republic.

Which is why the IRS is investigating the Foundation going back five years and perhaps 15 years.

Boards posted the truth as to over 80% going to charity, and as usual you just post LIES.

The article states, "...it has been asserted..." and goes on to cite Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Newsmax, The Federalist and the Free Republic. Nothing but an attempted smear job with a heavy dose of CYA.

Yes, and here is what was posted by BoardsofFL:

Here is what appeared in BoardsofFL source:

There’s a grain of truth here -- roughly 85 percent of the foundation’s spending was for items other than charitable grants to other organizations, and a large chunk of this 85 percent did go to Clinton Foundation staff for travel, salaries and benefits.
