Variety reported that the Oscar-winning actor’s Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation pledged $1 million to the United Way Harvey Recovery Fund. The fund was announced Wednesday by United Way Worldwide, the largest privately funded nonprofit.

CEO Brian Gallagher said in a statement. "Responding to Hurricane Harvey requires the best of all of us – and that’s what this gift represents. United Way’s Harvey Recovery Fund will provide much-needed help for the communities along the Gulf Coast where lives have been changed forever."

Twenty-four United Way locations were directly in the path of Harvey, according to the release.

"United Way and other organizations are doing so much to help the victims of this tragedy," LDF CEO Terry Tamminen said in a statement. "We support efforts to build climate-resilient communities and protect vulnerable wildlife and ecosystems across the planet, and have supported disaster relief and victim funds in the past.

We hope others will step up and support the United Way and other organizations."

Why doesn't Mr. Moneybags just quietly write and send a check? Obviously he's unfamiliar with the lesson of the widow's mite.

Matthew 6Contemporary English Version (CEV)

Giving

6 When you do good deeds, don’t try to show off. If you do, you won’t get a reward from your Father in heaven.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]When you give to the poor, don’t blow a loud horn. That’s what show-offs do in the meeting places and on the street corners, because they are always looking for praise. I can assure you that they already have their reward.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]When you give to the poor, don’t let anyone know about it.[SUP][a][/SUP] [SUP]4 [/SUP]Then your gift will be given in secret. Your Father knows what is done in secret, and he will reward you.

Hardly. I see where Freedumb has to truncate and therefore post a lie in a lame attempt to defend Orangetweet.

My post was in response to a comment that Trump would QUIETLY make a donation. He craves the attention and praise and will never do ANYTHING quietly if it means that kind of attention. That's clear, but something you Trump dicksuckers wish to deny.

Now, the second part. I don't recall any of these celebrities promising a pledge that didn't occur until they were outed for reneging on it. The Orange Clown did just that with the veterans.

Go ahead and trust a pathological liar, you fucking naive morons. I saw him for the liar that he is from the getgo.

How many times does Trump have to show us that he's a liar & con man?

America's division is between people who can easily see through his act, and those who inexplicably cannot.
 
Ok all you DiCaprio foundation donors, pull out them checkbooks. And United way gets to keep their %.
Meanwhile the prez will just write his check himself.
 
Oh brother. freedumb with another half-arsed thread. His own article reads that the United Way announced DiCaprio's donation.

This time, will it take four months and being outed by the press for not doing so?
 
"Set up not as a nonprofit but instead as a donor-advised fund (DAF) attached to the California Community Foundation, which is a nonprofit, the LDF therefore is not required to file itemized public disclosures about its own revenue, expenditures and disbursements. "It's difficult to characterize the giving of the DiCaprio Foundation because its status as part of the CCF makes it impossible to look at its finances," industry trade journal Inside Philanthropy noted in 2015.

Despite repeated efforts, DiCaprio, 41, the LDF and the CCF all declined to fully answer fundamental questions related to transparency and accountability of the foundation — a decision that disappoints charity experts consulted by THR. "

Well, that's one way of spinning it. I doubt that a person, such as the President, could give much charity that isn't noticed. Remember the whole Wounded Warriors fundraiser back in Iowa?
