“Put in” is what the foundation received, which the donor can deduct from taxes in the year it goes in. Private foundations only have to pay out about 5% of their assets a year; the rest can sit invested.
The foundation dissolved in December 2018 under an agreement with the New York Attorney General.
Meanwhile, the homes, jets, yachts and parties we have tracked add up to $66 million. See what Trump spent on Rich vs Reality →
