Archewell only had two donors

[Blip]

Interesting to see that Archewell donations were 99% made up of donations from just TWO one-off donors, one of £10M and one of £3M.
Speculation that this was £10M from Oprah for the interview and £3M from Tyler.

This doesn't look very sustainable to me.

The Royal Foundation (2011)
£4.8M incoming resources
£1.3M grants

Archewell Foundation (2021)
$13M incoming resources
$3M grants

Particularly like the mental health support during disaster emergencies.

Which, presumably they got paid for..... so not exactly doing it out of the goodness of their hearts

The police did that work and challenge, not the press.

Also, laughable that people think IPSO is holding anyone responsible. IPSO is the media. They are regulating themselves.
Hence they can't see racism in media despite journalists of colour formally complaining.

For those who are unaware:

Private foundations often collect their funds from a single key source, for example, a wealthy benefactor. This may be a wealthy family who believes in the cause or a corporation that wants to give something back. As such, the funds of a private foundation are controlled because they are dependent on a main source of income
Public charities don’t rely on a single source of income. Instead, they depend on public donations or governmental grants.

The start up money is likely from them. It’s quite common to do that.

So you and your partner don't get a salary because you are doing it out of the goodness of your heart.
So do tell us Mother Theresa, how do you pay bills and put food on the table?

So they have raised 3m by playing polo? That does seem a lot but I suppose people tend to be wealthy if they are into polo.

Unless they are professionals getting paid for doing it then it is a hobby. Lots of amateur sports raise money for charity but it is just accepted as part of the hobby.

I'm not the one making out that I'm all that's holy in the charity world while raking in an income that makes your average consultancy look like rank amateurs.

Neither are they.
this isn’t a charity, it’s a foundation. They make the bulk of their money outside of this foundation.

Neither are they.

I'd rather give directly to a charity, doesn't donating to a foundation that donates to a charity just incur more management/admin costs? Plus I like to chose where my money goes. I give one set amount to a charity I support every month by DD, my DH gives the same amount but across 5 of 6 different charities. I think it is nice to feel a connection to the charity.

Foundations don’t ask for public donations like charities do.

I think before commenting people should understand the differences between charities and foundations. There are already a lot of grassroots charities in areas that matter to H & M. They support them via this foundation.

Well I suppose it’s better than nothing - now if he donated his 100 million from the book I’d be more impressed

The royal foundation works like this too

The Royal Foundation develops programmes and initiatives based on the charitable interests of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge by working with organisations which are already making a proven impact in their respective fields.

now if he donated his 100 million from the book I’d be more impressed What about Charles & William donating profits from the duchies? Or Charles donating the equivalent of the inheritance tax he is exempt from? Is there anyone else you think should donate their private income?

You may be mistaking Harry for his publisher Penguin Random House. Harry did not earn 100 million from SPARE, he got a percentage of the books sales, called a royalty. The maximum royalty at the rate he is selling is probably just over 10% for print, with a much higher royalty for print and audio.

The publisher gets the rest for printing costs, s well as all costs associated with the book production, from paying the ghost writer to editing, cover design, etc.

No author, apart fro the self-published, controls hundred per cent of book revenues.

Jeez, Playing Polo- That’s hard work.
Ride for a few minutes and chuck the pony to a groom.

The Harkles have it very easy, and they know it.

Thankyou for explaining the difference.

😂Haha!

I do understand thanks. Maybe you didn't understand my post?

Say I've just won the lottery and I want to donate £1m to charity, maybe I have a particular sort of cause I'd like to support, say animal charities, I can choose a charity or I can choose several and split the £1m or I can give £1m to Archewell and someone else (maybe Harry and/or Meghan or maybe an employee) can decide which charities benefit but they won't benefit by £1m because Archewell will have running costs so the charities will get less.

Why wouldn't I just donate to the charity/charities?

@MrsMaxDeWinter I was mixed up with Netflix and Spotify - that was the rumoured 100 million plus - 13 million sterling advance for the book, plus royalties - as reported - whether that’s accurate I don’t know

But it will be a lot !

I see. So you expect them to give everything to charity?

Why do you expect them to give away all their money?

That's not true. They're registered under section 501 (c) (3) and the IRS determined they were a public charity.
