The newspaper[ contacted](http://www.wsj.com/articles/veterans-charities-await-funds-raised-by-donald-trump-1460069309?cb=logged0.6899070863789043) 19 of the 22 veterans’ charities to which Trump promised to donate the proceeds, and found that only about $2.4 million of the $6 million raised has been distributed. “Mr. Trump has distributed many of the contributions to a number of worthy organizations, and will continue to do so,” Hope Hicks, a campaign spokeswoman said. The funds come from an event for wounded veterans the GOP front runner hosted in Iowa in January after skipping the Jan. 28 Fox Republican debate [following squabbles with the network](http://time.com/4199234/donald-trump-fox-debate-veterans/?xid=homepage). \[[_WSJ_](http://www.wsj.com/articles/veterans-charities-await-funds-raised-by-donald-trump-1460069309?cb=logged0.6899070863789043)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4286473/donald-trump-veterans-charity/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4286473/donald-trump-veterans-charity/"},"headline":"Veterans' Charities Say Trump Hasn't Handed Out Donations","datePublished":"2016-04-08T13:47:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T16:34:39.630Z","description":"Almost $4 million raised by Donald Trump's campaign at a veterans' charity fundraising event in January has yet to be distributed.","url":"https://time.com/4286473/donald-trump-veterans-charity/","keywords":["Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7fae7dd3a98bdf67/69888e07196cf45e7303b125/160407_em_trumprecession.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7fae7dd3a98bdf67/69888e07196cf45e7303b125/160407_em_trumprecession.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"160407_EM_TrumpREcession","caption":"Donald Trump","creditText":"Andrew Harrer—Bloomberg via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4286473/donald-trump-veterans-charity/","name":"Veterans' Charities Say Trump Hasn't Handed Out Donations"}}]}] ```
