Five Typical Charity Scandals

Dionne Warwick’s AIDS charity. Dionne Warwick was one of the most successful pop/R&B recording artists of all time. But when her music career faded, she moved into more sketchy areas. One was Psychic Friends Network. The other was an AIDS charity Warwick started and became a spokesperson for in 1989. Warwick and the charity were lauded for working to stave off the AIDS epidemic in the black community.

But, in 1991, ABC revealed that over 90% of the millions of dollars raised by her charity went to administrative costs, including lavish travel and meals for Warwick and her associates. Both Psychic Friends Network and Warwick’s charity disappeared into oblivion. In 2013 Warwick declared bankruptcy, listing debts that included nearly $7 million owed to IRS and more than $3 million to the state of California for unpaid taxes on her earnings during the 1990s. – Source
