Trump's Iowa 'veterans' event will raise money for his own foundation as his campaign is coy about which organizations will benefit.
Donald Trump's highly publicized veterans fundraiser on Thursday night will benefit his own charitable foundation, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Ultimately, Trump's press secretary Hope Hicks said Thursday afternoon, 'the money will go to a number of Veterans charities and organizations.'
The campaign has been coy about which organizations will eventually see a cash infusion.
Trump tweeted on Thursday: 'It is my great honor to support our Veterans with you! You can join me now. Thank you! #Trump4Vets http://www.DonaldTrumpForVets.com.'
The link goes to a website run by the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which promises that '100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.'
He told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday night that 'we're going to raise a lot of money for the veterans. A lot of money is going to be raised. A lot of people are going to be there, and I can do some good.'

Sneaky.
So he can apply how much of it to “administrative expenses”?
Lie.
I donated because I believe that Trump has the resources to find the best organizations who will use the money to help vets, not high paid administrators.
Actually, Trump has given more money to the Clinton Foundation than he has to any veterans organizations combined.
I read it. Lies.
You better hope he doesn’t give it to the Clinton Foundation, which has given more money to than veterans.

Trump initially announced the funds were for Wounded Warrior and other Veterans groups. But there were a flurry of articles criticizing the Wounded Warrior organization for spending too much on themselves and only 60% on veterans.
So Trump is smart to distance himself and give him some time to vet the organizations before distributing the money.
The Donald, Melania, and Ivanka Trump Foundation.
