Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady rose to fame after their struggles became public. Following a chain of incidents, the couple filed for divorce in October. Bündchen visited Costa Rica after their separation while Brady was between NFL games. Their split puts a question mark on the charity foundation that the supermodel established.
Back in 2015, Gisele Bündchen spoke about the foundation with the Sydney Morning Herald. She mentioned, “My life is devoted to this. I know from the outside that people think, ‘This girl just poses for pictures.’ But in my head, I’m thinking the whole time, ‘Okay, if I take this job, then I can have more money to put into this [project].’ So that’s what I’m doing.”
The Luz Foundation is a charitable trust devoted to humanistic, academic, and biological causes. Gisele Bündchen founded the non-profit institution in 2007. The supermodel also created the Luz Alliance Fund in association with the BrazilFoundation. It will provide humanitarian global epidemic relief to Brazilian households.
Gisele Bündchen was a big name due to her environmental sustainability works. She had a noble cause in mind while forming the non-profit initiative. However, some records state the situations showcase a different scenario.

Additionally, the Luz Foundation donated $80,000 of its $350,000 budget to the Pointing Out the Great Way Foundation in 2019. Most contributions from Bündchen’s non-profit organization proceeded to the yoga and meditation clusters. Safe to say, the amount might look surprising.
