“Some of it was me. Some of it was the chairman. Some of it was victims’ families,” Sharpton told The New York Post.

NAN, based in Harlem, was founded by Sharpton as a social justice non-profit in 1991.
The group retains three of Sharpton’s relatives on the payroll — his daughters, Dominique and Ashley, received $78,670 and $59,950 salaries, respectively. Sharpton’s niece, Nikki, was paid $15,800 for work on special events.
NAN took in $7.3 million through 2021. That was a decline from the $11.1 million taken in during 2020 following the murder of George Floyd.
