The “Time’s Up” organization, which is backed by several Hollywood actresses, spent a large amount of its donations on salaries, but relatively very little on legal costs to assist victims in court, according to public records.
The Time’s Up legal defense fund was founded on Jan. 1, 2018, after receiving major donations from Hollywood A-listers. The organization was formed as a way to fight legal battles of victims of sexual harassment during the #MeToo movement.
The organization that started as a legal fund to fight systemic sexual harassment in Hollywood, now has a mission where “every person — across race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender identity, and income level — to be safe on the job and have equal opportunity for economic success and security.”
The Time’s Up Foundation and Time’s Up Now Inc. raised $3,670,219 in 2018, but spent $1,407,032 on salaries and only $312,001, less than 10%, on the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund for victims of sexual harassment, according to the New York Post.
