Reporter David Fahrenthold has contacted more than 400 charities. These are the notes from his search. Click for larger images.
For months, The Washington Post has been looking for evidence to back up a key claim Donald Trump makes about himself: that, in recent years, he has given millions of dollars to charity out of his own pocket. There is no evidence of that in the files of Trump's nonprofit, the Donald J. Trump Foundation. And Trump has not released his tax returns, which would detail his recent charitable giving.
In an effort to find proof of Trump's personal giving, The Post has contacted more than 400 charities with some ties to the GOP nominee. Some got money from the Trump Foundation (). In other cases, Trump had a personal connection () to the charity or its leaders . Some were charities that DonorSearch database records () indicated he might have given to. A variety of other reasons () included media mentions, gala attendance, or involvement with Trump's TV show "Celebrity Apprentice."
So far, The Post's search has turned up little. Between 2008 and this May — when Trump made good on a pledge to give $1 million to a veterans' group — its search has identified just one personal gift from Trump's own pocket.
If you have any information about a charitable gift given by Donald Trump, please email fahrenthold@washpost.com.

At the time of that political gift, Bondi was considering whether to pursue an investigation of Trump University. The Trump Foundation blamed both mistakes--the illegal donation, and the tax filing that hid it from the IRS--on separate clerical errors. Read more.

This is the only organization that reported receiving a personal donation from Trump between 2008 — the last time he gave to his own Donald J. Trump Foundation — and this May. It may also be a bookkeeping error, with the PAL counting a donation from Trump's foundation as a gift from the man himself. That happened in other years' data, but the PAL says it cannot tell if it happened this year. Read more.
