My mail yesterday was typical -- a few bills, ads from jewelry companies, and mostly requests for funds by a variety of organizations. One request stood alone -- Food for the Poor included a financial report for the year, showing that 95 per cent of all funds collected go to feed the poor. Only 5 per cent are spenr in operations.
Every charitable organization should report annually on how contributions are spent. We know funds differ. Some operate only to meet a tragedy such as the earthquake that hit Nepal; others meet needs on a permanent basis, such as the March of Dimes and the cancer society.
That brings me to questions about the Clinton Foundation. How much money has been received and where was it spent? Does it send workers and supplies to help meet the needs of people suffering from the Nepal earthquake?
