The Village Voice: 9|11: The Winners. "For some people, the terrorist attacks have been a gold mine"
Single Page Version (Will trigger print queue.)
Americans eager to donate after the 9/11 terrorist attacks poured a reported $1.5 and $2.2 billion into hundreds of charities that had quickly set up 9/11-related funds. Last week, an AP investigation revealed that some 9/11 charities were either "bogus," or "failed miserably." As a result, two states, New York and Arizona, have announced investigations.
Charity Navigator commemorates the anniversary by looking at 9/11 Funds to see how they're doing.
