How much money did Barack Obama donate to charities last year?

Answer 1

According to the president's 2011 tax returns, most of his and the First Lady's charitable giving was not directed to any one church. Rather, the Obamas gave large donations to organizations that help military families, especially Fisher House, which provide scholarships and other financial support for the children of veterans. The Obamas also gave to other charities, including the Boys and Girls Clubs, the Red Cross, and Habitat for Humanity.

Answer 2

According to his tax returns, quoted on the White House website, "The President and First Lady... reported donating $172,130 - or about 22% of their adjusted gross income - to 39 different charities. The largest reported gift to charity was a $117,130 contribution to the Fisher House Foundation. The President is donating the after-tax proceeds from his children's book to Fisher House, a scholarship fund for children of fallen and disabled soldiers." I enclose the link to The Obamas' tax returns for last year.
