A cancer charity started by Joe Biden gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show.

The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife Jill Biden to help find “solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention” and help find a cure, but gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington DC aides it hired.

The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group’s president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019), according to the charity’s most recent federal tax filings.

Simon, a former Pfizer executive and longtime health care lobbyist who headed up the White Houses’s cancer task force in the Obama administration, saw his salary nearly double from the $224,539 he made in fiscal 2017, tax filings show.

Danielle Carnival, former chief of staff for Obama’s cancer initiative, the Cancer Moonshot Task Force, who took home $258,207 in 2018.

Normal. But it’s cute someone thinks this is a scandal.

I think it is a scandal. Unless they can articulate better what they are contributing, they don't deserve a salary greater than $200k per year. No way. This kind of artistocracy, of people taking salaries far more than they need, far more than they deserve, is destroying our nation. If Biden can be fooled by this type, it is a bad sign for our future.

Sounds great. Not a scandal. The real scandal is the DMV with its contracting/consulting/lobbying/military spending hamster wheel, no?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. But he didn't take a dime of the money, and neither did his kids.

Neither did the Clintons or Chelsea.

but it does look like, even though they didn't take any money, that they got conned. Sort of like Grant. Good man, corrupt administration because he was so easily conned by the elite.

It looks kind of useless but not nearly as corrupt as the evangelical megachurch nonprofits.

Oh, well it came from the NY Post, let's invest stock in what it says. 🙄

The NY Post should be used to line bird cages.
It's owned by Rupert Murdoch, Trump's BFF.
It's a tabloid... right up there with The National Enquirer.

Can the charity provide data on any measurable benefits from their work?

These people remind me of all the administrators at the university where I work. they are absolutely convinced that they are earning their huge salaries by going to lunches, being on panels. The problem is that no one in the faculty, student body, staff, or the parents who are paying would agree. And they are completely oblivious to this. They think because they use long sentences with a lot of abstract nouns, they must be doing something important. It is bloating university costs. This seems like good money that could have gone directly to scientists is allowing the aristocracy to feel like they have an interesting, important job.

I agree. I voted for Biden but as a cancer patient this makes me sick. Money needs to go directly to research. New research. So much money wasted paying huge salaries to people doing nothing but listening to themselves talk. We don’t need more non researchers putting their greedy hands in the cancer pot.

Normal? It's a money-for-nothing scam. Call it like it is. This is corrupt garbage when Trump's cronies do it, it's corrupt garbage when Biden's cronies do it.

I'll wait to make this a real comparison until the Bidens are forced to settle a fraud suit, 'kay?

And yet, you support Trump.

As a nonprofit executive, this drives me crazy. No one wants to fund overhead, which actually makes everything more efficient. It doesn't help if nonprofits don't speak to each other and understand what everyone's role is. What happens is that people end up duplicating efforts. The reason this happens is that no one wants to pay for the overhead to be strategic.

I'm a cancer survivor too. Money can't only go to research. Someone must manage the process. People are dumb as dirt. It just shows your utter lack of sophistication.
