Obama donates Nobel Peace Prize money
Thursday, 11 March 2010, 18:39 Hrs
Washington: U.S. President Barack Obama has donated the $1.4 million that came with winning the Nobel Peace Prize to charity, the White House said Thursday.
Obama divided the money up among 10 charities, with Fisher House, a non-profit that provides housing for families of patients being treated at military and veteran hospital, receiving the most at $250,000.

The Haiti relief fund set up by former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will receive $200,000.
The rest of the money will go to the College Summit, Posse Foundation, United Negro College Fund, Hispanic Scholarship Fund, Appalachian Leadership and Education Foundation, American Indian College Fund, AfriCare and the Central Asia Institute.
The Central Asia Institute promotes community based education and literacy in remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan, with a special focus on girls.
The Nobel committee awarded Obama the prize in October, pointing to the change of tone in Washington but prompting critics to question the pick less than a year into his presidency.

25: Well, all the Nobel winners prevously too
have donated the money to the cause they
support. Mr. Obama was very well aware of
this. The money given to him by the Nobel
committee was in no way for him to spend on
himself and his family. There anyways was so
much noise about him winning the award at the
first place, though many people thought he
did not deserve. He himself was surprised to
know he'd won the award. He just did what he
had to do. Nothing great in that.
