Of the 15 million dollars in 2008 donated to the ONE Foundation, the NGO's Bono , only 184,732 went to charity, while eight million dollars were used to pay the salaries of 120 employees that the organization has in the world.

"We do not offer programs in the field. We are a support organization and campaign creation."
