In lieu of attending the latest GOP debate, Donald Trump
held his own event, which was aimed at raising money for veterans through the
Donald J. Trump Foundation. The event rose over $6 million, which will be
distributed to 22 different veterans groups. Some are questioning the legality
of the fundraiser, but that’s not the focus of this blog. Rather, we want to
take a closer look at the charities receiving the funds in case you wish to
know if these are charities worthy of your trust and support.
Of the 22 veterans groups receiving some part of the
donations raised, 6 are currently rated by us. Fisher
House Foundation, which provides housing to military families near where
their loved one is receiving treatment, has received 12 consecutive 4 star
ratings! Disabled
American Veterans Charitable Trust, which supports physical and
psychological rehabilitation programs that provide direct service to veterans,
is a 4 star organization. Homes
for Our Troops, a 4 star organization, builds specially adapted homes for
severely injured veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Hope
for the Warriors, which has received five consecutive 4 star ratings,
provides support programs for veterans and their families. Operation
Homefront, another 4 star organization, provides emergency financial
assistance to the families of our veterans. The Navy
SEAL Foundation, which has received five consecutive four star ratings,
provides support, health and welfare programs to Navy SEAL veterans.
