Hillary and Bill Clinton funneled 96 percent of their charitable donations to their own family foundation, according to the Democratic nominee’s 2015 tax returns.
Last year, $1 million of the total $1,042,000 that the Clintons deducted in charitable contributions went to the Clinton Family Foundation, the Daily Caller reportedFriday.
The tax return showed that the other $42,000 in contributions went to Desert Classic Charities, a nonprofit that organizes an annual charity golf tournament. The organization then in turn contributed $700,000 to the Clinton Foundation. A foundation adviser and longtime Bill Clinton assistant, Doug Band, was on the organization’s board of directors through 2014, according to IRS filings.
The Clintons earned in total more than $10.5 million in 2015, primarily from paid speeches. Less than 10 percent of their total income went to charity.

The Clintons are thieves!
When I think of the Clintons, I think of a bad smell, the odor of something animal rotting.
What do they have to say that would interest anyone paying anything? Heck, I hit the "mute" when either one of them come on the air.
What good deeds have the Clinton's ever done for anyone other than themselves?
6:59 AM, I can answer that - NONE!!
Do any of you even know what the Clinton Foundation does? Do your homework.
837 I have a feeling the good works they do is incidental to the influence peddling and helping their good friends buy and sell uranium mines and the like.
Well then 9:58, check the facts and leave your feelings out of it.
The facts I have checked is the Foundation is a "Ponzi" scheme. If it is not a scam why is it that only 10% goes to "supposedly" the needy around the world. They can't prove where the money goes or what it is spent on which Puerto Rico is an example.
That means 90% goes back to the Clintons. They cannot prove where the 10% goes so it must go to their buddies through hidden accounts in these other places that supposedly receives money from the Foundation. Can anyone prove any different?
