http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/ivanka-is-starting-her-own-foundation-and-is-accepting-checks-from-foreign-governments-report/"During the 2016 presidential campaign, the Clinton Foundation pledged that it would stop accepting foreign donations if Hillary Clinton became president.
Now it seems that First Daughter Ivanka Trump is starting her very own foundation that she will operate while working inside the White House and shes reportedly already securing money from foreign governments.
Axioss Mike Allen reports that Ivanka Trump has started building a massive fund whose goal is to benefit female entrepreneurs around the globe. One source even tells Allen that Canadians, Germans and a few Middle Eastern countries have already made quiet commitments to the fund, as have several corporations.
Allen claims that President Donald Trump is a big supporter of Ivankas plan, and he says that Trump has already started talking with World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim about how to get the foundation off the ground in a big way....(more)
Another "get rich quick" scheme by the Trump family disguised as a charity. These people are unreal! Is there no depth they won't sink to?
GET THEM OUT NOW!!

(118,659 posts)for her foundation from people who want to curry favour with her, then donate to charity. Getting the accolades for doing such great charity work. She's being cynical and using her dad's position. She has more than enough money to be the sole funder of her foundation. That way she can help people, get goodwill from that and not use her position in politics.

(20,577 posts)for a fundraiser for our governor at the time. It was $10 per person. A Chinese man came in and handed me 4 one hundred dollar bills. I told him we could not take it and he kept insisting. Finally he just paid the $10. I did make sure he got to meet the governor though, which wasn't hard because he met with everyone there.
All Ivanka had to do was let it be known she had a "foundation" and the cash rolls in. It is SOP in so many countries - this one now too.
