Clinton Foundation Donation Not Publicly Listed by NYTimes

A $100,000 donation given to a New York Times charity campaign in 2008 by Bill and Hillary Clinton’s family foundation is not included in a Times list of large gifts from various other foundations, such as George Soros’s charitable foundation.

Each year, the newspaper publishes a list of trust and estate gifts of $100,000 or more that are invested in an endowment, the income of which is used to fund the following year’s Neediest Cases campaign. When asked about the omission of the Clintons’ gift from the 2008-2009 list, New York Times spokesperson Eileen Murphy said that “most likely” the Clintons requested that the money go towards that year’s campaign and not the endowment, but there is “no record” of why the funds were used that way.
