This is an article for the unsophisticated.

I have worked and continue to sit on the board of two charities where we collect millions of dollars in donations, each year.

It is laughable that anyone who is knowledgeable about fundraising would posit that 60 days after the fundraiser is a long time to collect and disperse funds, particularly if the funds were raised for outside organizations that need to be vetted.

And like most respectable foundations there is a grant application process. It should not be a “free for all”.

Again, the Cruz people lap this stuff up due to their lack of sophistication and inexperience in these matters.

Any of the money sent to the Trump Foundation will of course be disclosed in their 990.

This is the Cruz Crew talking points for today... what a bunch of robots.

Here is a proposed list of organizations that are considered for disbursement.

Key points:

1. Donald Trump claims to have raised $6 million ("raised" amount, not "pledges").
2. 19 of 22 groups reported receipts.
3. Those 19 groups have received only $2.4 million from Trump's foundation or associates.
4. Of the other three charities:
   • One has received nothing, but has not completed the paperwork.
   • One declined to report a number.
   • One did not respond to the survey.
5. $3.4 million is unaccounted for. There appears to be a yuge amount of administration expense, fraud, waste and abuse.
