Trump foundation has no staff, little money, and none from Trump since 1988

Posted by | September 2, 2016 15:14 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Donald Trump doesn’t contribute to his foundation, nor does hardly anyone else.

Trump started the Donald J. Trump Foundation in the late 1980s, to give away proceeds from his book, “The Art of the Deal.” He remains the foundation’s president, but — in recent years — Trump has stopped putting his own money into its coffers. Tax records show no gifts from Trump himself to the foundation since 1988; it has instead received donations from a smattering of Trump’s friends and business associates.

The Trump Foundation has no paid staff and relatively little money for a superwealthy man’s personal charity: At the end of 2014, it had $1.3 million in the bank. The foundation’s giving is small and scattershot, with its gifts often sent to people whom Trump knows, or charities that hold their galas at his properties in New York and Florida.

    Rich guys love to other rich guys money.

    Call it charity, write it off and throw a big party at the now defunct Taj.

    Might be a good idea for the AvGas providers to start insisting on cash
