Snopes.com says the same thing as the article i linked to.
Keep lying for the Donald.
You're the liar.  Keep lying like Joe Biden.

What's True
The Biden Cancer Initiative, a charity founded by U.S. President-elect Joe Biden and soon-to-be first lady Jill Biden in 2017, spent more than $3 million on salaries when it was in operation.

Perhaps read the article squid provided and set yourself straight. At least for once.
The article isn't even a news source, it's a blog.

FACT
The Biden charity took in 4 million dollars in contributions in 2017 and 2018.

FACT
75% of those contributions went to salaries.

Spin it however you want Biden cultists.

Even your snopes article explains, yet again, that this biden mission was NOT designed to provide grants.

What was it designed to do then?  You think 75% of contributions for salaries is acceptable?

It was designed to bring cancer research experts together to speed up the progress on cancer treatment. Again, it's all spelled out in the articles.

I wish he was actually going to maintain the status quo, but unfortunately, he and his crew are big proponents of endless foreign wars.  They're also globalists, that have no problem throwing the American worker under the bus, whether it be TPP, or the Paris Accord, or trade with China.

Just like the Republicans you mean?

As another poster pointed out, what it was designed to do was described in the article.

From Snopes:
the organization created collaborations that helped cancer patients with things like accessing care, financial support, and community support. According to its website, the 501(c)3 charity brought together dozens of groups and organizations to leverage resources connecting patients to clinical trials, cancer prevention and early detection, and data sharing, for example.

So they weren't doing research on "How do I cure this cancer", but they were working on ways to distribute information between researchers, treatment providers, and cancer patients.

Again, according to Snopes:  salaries at the charity were set by a compensation committee that used “comparables to other nonprofits” to set compensation rates.

Since the charity was not directly involved in direct research, nor direct treatment, it would be expected that the proportion of its revenue allocated to salaries would be higher than (for example) the Red Cross, or Trump's favorite charity, nambla.

Biden’s favourite is his family.  He’s been enriching them for years.

Jesus Christ man. Biden was basically middle class for the majority of his life, until his book deal.

Complete nonsense.  He's been living in a multi-million dollar home for decades.  His middle class schtick is all for show.  I can't believe people still fall for that.

Almost everyone who owns a home in Vancouver is living in a multi million dollar home.

Biden Inc.
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-investigation-hunter-brother-hedge-fund-money-2020-campaign-227407

Interesting article...  but, to be honest, I don’t have a lot of interest in what member’s of a president’s family does, unless of course the president is paying them through taxpayers funds, or they’re getting rich off of scams that the president is helping with. 

None of that is true with Biden, as it says in your article.

That article also backs up what you denied about Joe Biden...  that he didn’t make a massive amount of money until very recently due to book sales and speaker’s fees.  So I guess you’ll be correcting your previous post about that.

So ummm...  I guess  the point of the article is that Joe Biden has family members that try and cash in on his name, but he stays out of it and never profited from it?   He has a brother who was involved in possibly shady dealings?  And a son who had a drug problem who teamed up with the brother?    OK.  Why should anyone care?
