just read this, and, have to say, find it pretty disturbing... especially this bit...
wonder if the donations were perhaps channeled into the Global Fund and given to charity that way rather than thru One itself?
don't look so great though...

But let's not be facetious. Naturally, naturally, the business of activism is more complicated than that, and indeed, ONE has since been forced to remind confused civilians that it is an advocacy organisation and not a grant-making organisation. This became necessary after the New York Post revealed that in 2008, the most recent year for which tax records are available, ONE took $14,993,873 in donations from philanthropists, of which a thrifty $184,732 was distributed to charity. More than $8m was spent on executive and employee salaries
