Let’s Do The Math: Khaled Beydoun raised $7,120,440 (Gross receipts), but he was paid $2,040,887. That means he was paid about 28.7% of every dollar raised, taking an outrageous payment to funnel donations through his audience. The charity received about 71 cents of every dollar donated through these campaigns, and that’s before accounting for its own additional expenses such as staff salaries, program costs, logistics, compliance and legal, processing fees, office, and more.

On page 33 of Human Appeal’s 2024 Form 990, under the section for “Professional Fundraising Services,” the organization is required to list any individuals or entities with whom it has agreements to provide fundraising services and who are compensated at least $5,000 by the organization.”

According to Human Appeal’s 2024 Form 990, which nonprofit organizations are legally required to make public, Khaled Beydoun, an influencer who has been fundraising for Gaza through a dedicated link in his bio for the charity, was paid over $2,000,000 in 2024. He fundraised $7,120,440 for initiatives, the charity retained $5,079,553, and he was paid a generous amount of $2,040,887.
