Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was placed under scrutiny after the findings of a six-month USA Today investigation alleged that the Why Not You foundation, which helped Wilson win the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in 2020, spent twice as much money on its employees as it contributed to charitable activities.
Wilson took to social media on Saturday and shared a minute-long video that seemed to respond to the report."For our Why Not You foundation over the past eight years we've been so freaking blessed to meet so many amazing people, so many amazing kids along the way and to be able to also partner with some amazing brands," Wilson continued.
USA Today alleged that the nonprofit gained so much acclaim because it boasts charitable partnerships with other organizations rather than its own contributions. According to federal tax records obtained by USA Today, the foundation spent $600,000 on charity and $1.1 million on employee salaries and benefits from 2020 to 2021. The Why Not You Foundation essentially spent 21.3 cents of every dollar on charitable activities in 2020 and 27.2 cents of every dollar on charitable activities in 2021.
