Brangelina Put Their Money Where Their Mouths Are!
Posted on Fri Mar 21, 2008 07:43 AM PDT
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie put more than $8 million into the Jolie Pitt Foundation last year and gave away more than $2 million of it to charitable organizations!
Doctors Without Borders received $1 million and so did Global AIDS Alliance, according to the FoxNews report.
The federal filing reported smaller amounts going to Namibia Red Cross Action Program, to the Daniel Pearl Foundation (Angie plays the late Daniel Pearl's wife Mariane in the movie A Might Heart), to Global Green USA, to the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation (???), to two orphanages Jolie visited, and to an art park in LA! Whew!!!
Bravo, Brangelina! Everyone should jump on this bandwagon!
Another impressive note to this great story -- the Jolie Pitt Foundation incurred expenses of only $27,000 last year, while many charities run on about 50% of what they give away. Not bad, guys!

This is one of the hottest topics on the tall dating site ~~Tallkiss.com, where they met for the first time. And you can also find the forum topics created by Angelina Jolie on that page.
So... They put in $8M; that got them a tax benefit of about 40%, or about $3.2M. Then the foundation gave away $2M.
So net-net, the taxpayers are out $3.2M, and charities got $2M.
This is actually better than the way that most foundations work -- where only about 5% of assets actually make it to charities each year (the minimum allowed by law).
these are the people who do right by their fortunate lives....if ALL the so called "celebrities" followed their example there is no doubt the world would be that much of a better place...it is so sad that out of soooooo many very wealthy celebrities VERY FEW impact the world with their generousity and genuine charitable giving. Hollywierd should take note...life comes full circle, those who are fortunate now will most likely experience the other end of that spectrum at some point..do good by your fortune now and you may experience peace later, or you can say you used your fortune to buy 2ooo.oo handbags and 700.oo shoes...good luck with that!
It has nothing to do with taxes! These two are actually helping, while others do their shopping in LA or Miami!
Good for them. They should come over and fuck me to celebrate!
good people

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are really kind persons. I know that they often chat with other celebrities on millionairechats.com.
HA HA HA HA HA HA bi-babe
you asshole!
They put 8 million into their foundation which is really just a holding tank for the money and then only gave 2 million of it away? They make 15 to 20 million per film and make 2 to 3 films a year. I thought they were suppose to be the big time givers in Hollywood, doesn't really seem so by these numbers.
IF ANGELINA WAS TRULY "PUTTING HER MONEY WHERE HER MOUTH IS" SHE'S BE PUTTING IT ON THE END OF BRAD'S COCK.
IF BRAD WERE DOING THE SAME THING, HE'D BE PUTTING HIS MONEY ON ANGELINA'S SPHINCTER, CUZ HE'S BASICALLY KISSING HER ASS ALL THE TIME ANYWAY
First off a couple of things. The source of this article is Roger Friedman from Fox news. Secondly, this is a 2006 Federal filing not 2007. EB is a disease that Brad's manager's nephew suffers from.
She sucks. No one will ever believe her...she tries to do good but her tactics will always follow her. Everyone knows what tactics I'm talking about.
yeah hello bitches we get the money back!! duh!!
LMAO I'm sure the Maniston freaks head's are exploding right now. They can't handle the truth.
just saying
Angelina and Brad are not taking money from us taxpayers; they are giving part of their taxable income to charity. 'Our' cut is merely a smaller portion of the pie. 'We' will survive.
Another toast to the sweetest couple in the world!
CHEERS EVERYONE!
Angelina hid brad's spray tan , botox, and hairspray until he gave up some mooney
Hey X17, in your new video, I dont think Shiloh kissed the driver, I dont think its a bodygard, he went to the car afterwards. It looks as if she kissed him, but actually Brad was just talking to him, perhaps thanking him.
Please correct your caption coz its not true!!
son los mejores
Isn't EB the same charity that Courtney Cox fundraises for? Does she have the same manager as Brad Pitt because I thought she got involved with it when HER manager's son (or nephew?) was diagnosed.
the EB is courtney cox's thing,,people.com is reporting that he's given money and so has jen aniston!!ooohhh!!!scandel!!
either dont read the comments

That has GOT to be either a wig or implants on his head. Prob why he was wearing that stupid hat for a month.
What's with the Elvis do?
Drums roll......flags out, declare a public holiday, Brangelina gave to charity.
Epidermolysis Bullosa- I knew Shiloh had a condition!
They are the best, gorgeous, a beautifull family, ,many people are jeleous about them.
Be happy forever.
