Clinton Foundation
"Through 2016 the foundation had raised an estimated $2 billion
from U.S. corporations, foreign governments and corporations,
political donors, and various other groups and individuals."
According to the Clinton Foundation's website, neither
Bill Clinton nor his daughter, Chelsea Clinton (both are
members of the governing board), draws any salary or
receives any income from the Foundation. When Hillary
Clinton was a board member she reportedly also received
no income from the Foundation.[10]

As you can see below Trump has no problem using
things like 9/11 and our Veterans to raise money
FOR HIS OWN USE...Talk about a piece of human
garbage...
Donald J. Trump Foundation
On June 14, 2018, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood
filed civil suit against President Donald Trump and his three
eldest children, Donald, Jr., Ivanka, and Eric, alleging
"persistently illegal conduct" with respect to foundation money,
accusing them of engaging in campaign finance violations,
using foundation money in their self-interest ("self-dealing"),
and illegally coordinating donations with Donald Trump's
presidential campaign.[8] She ordered the charity dissolved
and demanded $2.8 million in restitution and penalties.
She also made referrals to the Federal Election Commission and the IRS.[9]
Failure to make pledged 9/11 donations
An investigation by the New York City Comptroller's office in October
2016 showed that Trump and/or the Donald Trump Foundation may have
failed to honor at least one pledge to charities established to provide
relief for victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Mishandling of funds raised for veteran's causes
In April 2016, Fox News reported that, more than two months after Trump
said he had raised $6 million for military veterans at a pre-Iowa caucus
fundraiser, "most of the organizations targeted to receive the money
have gotten less than half of that amount."[48] Around that time, Trump
also said he had contributed $1,000,000 of his personal funds.[33] In
late May, Trump revised his figures downward, saying that $5.6 million
had been raised at the event and that he had contributed his $1,000,000
share only the previous week, after the media criticized him.[33] He
also provided a list of the beneficiaries of the $5.6 million, although
the full amount is further disputed in a lawsuit filed by New York State
in 2018, which cites an amount of $2.8 million
Coordinating foundation grants with Trump's presidential campaign
Trump may have used Trump Foundation grants to advance his presidential
campaign, in violation of rules barring charities from engaging in
political activity.[51] Trump distributed at least some of the funds
publicly at "Donald Trump for President" political rallies, displaying
large-size donation checks that included his campaign slogan "Make
America Great Again" or a link to a campaign website.[24][51][52]
Using Trump Foundation money to settle Trump Organization legal disputes
Trump may have used foundation money to settle his personal or business
legal disputes on at least two occasions.
Grants to the National Museum of Catholic Art and Library
In each of 1995 and 1999, the Trump Foundation granted $50,000 to the
National Museum of Catholic Art and Library. A 2001 report by The
Village Voice stated, after visiting the museum in East Harlem, that the
facility had "next to no art" and no official connection to the Catholic
church, despite having had a 10-year track record of soliciting
large-scale donations for its collection. The Voice and, later, The
Washington Post, concluded that Trump may have directed the grants to
the museum to curry favor with the museum's then chairman, Eddie Malloy,
who was also head of the Building and Construction Trades Council of
Greater New York. The Council had worked on behalf of one of the unions
of workers who worked on Trump construction projects.[24][54]
Solicitation of donations without a license
Under New York State law, a not-for-profit foundation must register as a
"7A Charitable Organization" if it plans to solicit outside donations in
excess of $25,000 in any year.[46] The Trump Foundation was initially
registered as a private foundation set up solely to receive his own
personal donations. As long as it was registered as a private foundation
and not soliciting outside funds, it did not have to file annual audited
reports with the New York State Charities Bureau[46] However, records
show that Trump began soliciting donations at least as early as 2004[46]
and possibly as early as 1989.[47]
Failure to maintain proper governance
In a June 2018 petition filed by the office of the New York Attorney
General, it was explained that:
"...none of the Foundation's expenditures or activities were approved by
its Board of Directors. The investigation found that the Board existed
in name only: it did not meet after 1999; it did not set policy or
criteria for choosing grant recipients; and it did not approve of any
grants. Mr. Trump alone made all decisions related to the Foundation.[45
