The fire aid concert raised over a $100 Million, but where did all the money go?
Jimmy Dore went to the the Annenberg Foundation who are in charge of the funds, to find out more.
After repeated emails, phone calls, etc with no replies, they eventually heard from Barbara Chen of Annenberg.
Turns out most of the money went into the pockets of NGO’s, etc with just 30% going to the actual victims of the fire.
Anyone surprised?
Nope.
This is LA after all.

Expected. Especially given the USAID money laundering is over.
Cue Gomer Pyle meme...
Yup.
Democrats will now steal every penny they can get their hands on.
They are only in politics for money one way or another.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
iirc, it was reported that hildabeast & CF got the giant’s share of haitian relief + a good slice out of the BLM pie
wonder what her cut was on the LA relief?
I’m surprised,.
Most grifts like this give less than 10% to the actual cause.
Cancel ALL NGO’s
This exactly why I never give a freakin dime to these outfits!
Don’t know about Hilly, but I suspect the future campaigns of Grusom and Kamala to benefit.
I’ll bet Krazy Karen Bass is using it to bring her ancestors from Cuba and Africa to Lost Angels.
I’d like to see the donors list (no, I did not click on/watch vid, at link).
Do they specify?
I wonder what % of these *donations* are taxpayer funded, somehow.
I have heard so many bad things about the Annenberg Foundation over the years along the same lines. The money filters through a massive bureaucracy and an incredibly small percentage goes to the actual intended recipients. These fundraisers should be renamed “Fundraiser for the Annenberg Foundation Staff.”
NGO aka Notoriously Greedy Organizations
No we didn't.
And besides: we're Canadian.
NGOs have names and public registrations, you know.
Democrats use “NGOs” to implement radical policies to “transform” and destroy American culture without congressional oversight. They are generously taxpayer funded by Democratic administrations. The classic example is the NGO settlement of tens of thousands of Somalis in Minnesota to change that state poltitically and culturally for the forseeable future. Hopefully the Trump administration will put a stop to the nonsense.
Money just went to more “washing machines” who all took their cut and passed it along. You know, wash, rinse, repeat……. There never was a plan to help those who suffered the disaster, only a reason to use the disaster for a cause to pry money out of the naïve. Notice that donations to NGOs are tax deductible, but giving money directly to those affected is not!
Should read “These are democrats, after all.”
LIVE AID, COMIC RELIEF, BIAFRA, BANGALADESH it doesn’t matter. Grifters gotta grift.
The American people are the most charitable and gullible on earth.............
