Rudy Giuliani, the Trump-allied former New York City mayor who declared bankruptcy in 2023, has in recent days been selling coffee online and saying proceeds will help a nonprofit called Call2Action. But Call2Action does not appear to be an existing nonprofit — though a corporation by that name with little paper trail was formed in Delaware late last week.
“By supporting Rudy Coffee, you’re not just treating yourself to exceptional coffee, you’re also supporting our cause,” Giuliani said in an ad he posted on X. “You’ll also be supporting the Call2Action nonprofit, which is devoted to helping veterans and first responders. So you can make a difference and taste the difference.”
There are no signs of a veterans-focused charity called Call2Action online, and when NOTUS looked for the charity’s website using a QR code embedded in Giuliani’s ad, it led to a broken link. Delaware state law does not require the owners of a corporation to disclose their names, so the organization called Call2Action recently registered in the state discloses no details except its name.
