President Barack Obama won’t be involved in setting fundraising rules for a new nonprofit organization he unveiled Monday to help minority boys and young men.
The celebrities and corporate executives serving on the board of the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, which Obama announced during an event at Lehman College in the Bronx, will determine if foreign governments or registered lobbyists can contribute to the project, the White House said.
