"Back Porch Revival" concert and charity under scrutiny

IOWA CITY, Iowa - An Iowa non-proffit started by actor Ashton Kutcher is under scrutiny after questions were raised how the money was spent.

The August 2016 concert at Kinnick Stadium featured Big and Rich, Blake Shelton, and other big names and raised $1.25 million for the non-profit "Native Fund".

According to KCRG-TV9, that year, not a single dollar was given to charity, but more than $140,339 was paid to salaries.

An email statement from Director Dallas Clark and others claims that so far this year, $145,000 has been donated to charities, including helping to rebuild Marshalltown after a tornado.

According to the email, $80,000 has been spent on salaries in 2019.
