Rush Limbaugh's $4.2 Million Gift to Charity

If you are interested in the inticacies of making BI, BIG gifts to charity, this is an instructive article about how Rush gave $4.2 million to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation

The auction ended on October 19th with "bettyc588" placing the winning bid in the astounding amount of $2,100,100. Limbaugh then matched the amount for a total gift to the MC-LEF of $4,200,200.

To understand how the auction was structured, we first looked at the eBay auction page on which the item was listed and learned the donation would be "backed" by MissionFish, a service of the Points of Light Foundation and exclusive charity solution provider for eBay Giving Works.

MissionFish works with eBay sellers who want to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of items they list on eBay.


Dingy Harry Reid and the other wealthy Democrats who signed the "Smear Rush" letter have yet to give a penny to this charity.
