Beneficiaries say they have received a fraction of the total contributed at Republican presidential candidate’s Iowa event
More than two months after Donald Trump skipped a Republican debate to hold a fundraiser for veterans, the targeted beneficiaries are still seeing a fraction of the promised money raised from the Republican’s charitable foundation and his wealthy friends.
A survey by The Wall Street Journal of 19 of the 22 groups originally listed by Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign as the prospective recipients of the funds found that they had received roughly $2.4 million of the estimated $6 million in donations the campaign said the event generated. The total received by all of the groups is likely to be more.
One organization refused to disclose how much it received, another said it needed to submit more paperwork before a check would be forthcoming, and one didn’t respond to multiple inquiries.Read the rest of the story HERE.

What the organisation achieves starts becoming driven by what likely funders are looking for, rather than the core social impact it was set up to make. Over a period of time this often results in a dispersion of activity and diminished quality of outcomes - lots of small impacts rather than any major core difference. The diminished quality of outcomes then adversely affects the ability to raise funding, and alongside growing operational costs, forces the charity further into the spiral of doing whatever it can to raise money to survive.

At the beginning I would like to say that the post is absolutely very informative and inspiring. It's true sometimes any popular personality can bring a positive turn on any issue or event. The campaign initiated by the Republican charitable foundation and his wealthy friends is praise worthy whether fractional or not. The information provided by the Wall Street journal is surely notable I think. Anyway thanks a lot for the brilliant work and of course for sharing on the web. Nonprofit trends
