The disease charity founded by the late comedian Bernie Mac and run primarily by his widow and her family has spent less than one-seventh of its money on mission programs, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The Chicago-born entertainer launched the Bernie Mac Foundation in 2005 to aid sufferers of sarcoidosis, a tissue disease that disproportionately affects African-Americans. Federal and state records show the foundation gave $101,982 to other charities from 2007 to 2012, 13 percent of its expenditures for the period—far below the threshold for mission spending recommended by nonprofit watchdog groups.
