NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit reviewed IRS tax forms filed by The Key Worldwide Foundation (KWF) and found the non-profit received $7,065,675 in contributions and spent close to $4,953,630 between 2013 and 2016.
According to the tax forms recipients of grants and donations from KWF listed include prominent schools like the University of Southern California, Yale, Chapman University, and the University of Texas. Federal prosecutors say many of those listed charity grants were cover for bribes paid to athletic officials, coaches and others at those schools.
