Biden's Cancer Charity Took in Millions, Spent Big on Salaries but Nothing on Research

[GURPS]

The mission of the Biden Cancer Initiative, which was founded in 2017, was to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes.” The charity took in nearly $5 million in contributions in 2017 and 2018, according to IRS filings, but spent most of it, just over $3 million, on the salaries of former Washington, D.C., aides who were hired by the charity.

The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group’s president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019), according to the charity’s most recent federal tax filings.
Simon, a former Pfizer executive and longtime health care lobbyist who headed up the White House’s cancer task force in the Obama administration, saw his salary nearly double from the $224,539 he made in fiscal 2017, tax filings show.
Danielle Carnival, former chief of staff for Obama’s cancer initiative, the Cancer Moonshot Task Force, who took home $258,207 in 2018.

The Glaring Problem with Biden's Cancer Charity

"If I'm elected president, you're going to see the single most important thing that changes in America: we're going to cure cancer," he told a crowd in June of 2019 in Ottumwa, Iowa.


While the cause is noble and something that everyone can get behind, it turns out Biden wasn't serious about fulfilling his promise.

In fact a new report from the New York Post shows The Biden Cancer Initiative, which was founded in 2017, donated no money to cancer research or grants. All of its funding was spent on staff salaries.

Out of the $4,809,619 in contributions the group received in 2017 and 2018, $3,070,301 was spent on salaries. In 2017, the charity dropped $56,738 on conferences and $59,356 on travel. In 2018, they dropped $742,953 on conferences and $97,149 on travel.

The group’s president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019), according to the charity’s most recent federal tax filings.
Simon, a former Pfizer executive and longtime health care lobbyist who headed up the White House’s cancer task force in the Obama administration, saw his salary nearly double from the $224,539 he made in fiscal 2017, tax filings show.
Danielle Carnival, former chief of staff for Obama’s cancer initiative, the Cancer Moonshot Task Force, who took home $258,207 in 2018.

Sounds like the Clinton Foundation, nothing more than a money laundering scheme to enrich his family and friends.
Ask Haitians what they think of the Clintons and their foundation.
