Papers were also said to show the charity spent US$163,085 on salaries – and while Harry and Meghan did not take a wage, its CEO James Holt has apparently received a $59,846 salary and $3832 in other benefits.
Two other salaries are reportedly on the tax return – US$40,867 for “programme service” and $22,811 for “management and general expenses”, suggesting the charity has three paid staff.
It’s been widely reported 16 employees have left the overall Archewell brand – a mix of non-profit and for-profit business including Archewell Productions and Archewell Audio.
The Mail said Harry and Meghan, who also have 21-month-old daughter Lilibet, declare in their tax filing Archewell’s key mission is to “uplift” and “unite” communities “one act of compassion at a time”.
They are said to have added in the documents: “Archewell Foundation believes that compassion is the defining cultural force of the 21st century and, through its work, Archewell Foundation supports a growing community of partner organisations fuelling systemic cultural change”.
“Archewell Foundation listens to people and their communities, helps them tell their stories, puts real action behind its words, and spotlights a new generation of leadership.”
Harry and Meghan’s foundation impact report released in January said it helped pay for 12.66 million Covid vaccinations globally while working with anti-poverty charity Global Citizen. Money was also given to charities supporting refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine.
