Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith donated over a million dollars to charitable organizations, in 2007. $1.3 million in fact - $122,500 of that money went to Scientology [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
Despite the star’s previous protestations that he was not a Scientologist and that he essentially wanted to distance himself from the church and its causes, tax returns for the actor’s charitable Will Smith Foundation show he and his wife gave money the church and to a number of other religious, civic and arts groups, in 2007.
Here is how some of the charitable donations were shared out:
- Yesha Ministries of Philadelphia (Christian based organization) – $250,000.
- Christian ministry outside Los Angeles called Living Waters – $200,000
- Church Of Scientology’s New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Fund- $67,500
- Church Of Scientology’s Celebrity Center in Hollywood- $50,000
- ABLE, another Scientology offshoot – $5,000
DO THINK IT IS OK FOR SMITH TO GIVE $122,500 TO $CIENTOLOGY?
