The charity’s former director told The New York Times that Clinton appearance was a result of a “quid pro quo” — meaning the $500,000 payment. “The Clinton Foundation had rejected the Happy Hearts Fund invitation more than once, until there was a thinly veiled solicitation and then the offer of an honorarium,” former charity director Sue Veres Royal said. “Petra called me and said we have to include an honorarium for him — that they don’t look at these things unless money is offered, and it has to be $500,000,” she added.t the paper said it’s rare for one charity to donate funds to another charity to land an honoree. Usually, the award recipient is expected to help raise money by attracting new donors.
