Is Madonna only donating money to Kabbalah centers and groups associated to the religion?
It seems that way according to past tax filings.
Madonna founded her nonprofit Ray of Light Foundation back in 1998. It was created to help benefit health charities along with music and kid-related ones.
But, since 2001, over $5.1 million has been donated from her organization to Kabbalah – decreasing the amount of funds she’s given out to her other charities.
According to IRS filings, since the time of her involvement with Kabbalah, only $1.3 million have been given to non-Kabbalah organizations.
Before 2001, Ray of Light was contributing to more than 20 charities, such as the Helen Keller Services to the Blind and the T.J. Martell Cancer and Leukemia Foundation, as well as to a church in Michigan, her home state.
We doubt that church is still getting any money!
Between 1998 and 2000, Madge donated $264,622 to those various organizations. But then in 2001 she made her first large donation od $1.24 million to Kabbalah.
The next year, her foundation gave out $2.1 million to charities. $1,994,157 of that was given to Kabbalah.
And, in 2003 and 2004 Kabbalah again took over 90% of her donations.
In 2005 and 2006 most of the donations again went to Kabbalah.
Overall, her Madgesty has given away millions of dollars to the religion. Let’s hope she’s still got millions left to give.
They seem like they take a lot!
