Eric Trump Foundation misled donors

  • 7 years ago
A new report by Forbes says that Eric Trump promised all proceeds from his foundation would go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, but some went elsewhere. More than $200,000 went to other organizations, most of which had no programs to help kids with cancer but did have strong ties to Trump family members and interests. Some of the money went to a non-profit event and another charity, while some went to a zoo. From 2011-2015, the Eric Trump Foundation promised donors that all proceeds would go to St. Jude's but also doled out over $500,000 to about 40 other charities. A foundation spokesperson told Forbes.
