Even a casual listener to the Howard Stern Show is probably familiar
with a feature dubbed "The Homeless Game." The contest is simple: Stern
and his cohorts bet on whether an addled street denizen knows the
answer to simple questions like whose face is on the five dollar bill.
Rarely is Stern as giddy as he is when betting with his sidekicks on
the outcome of these curbside IQ tests. So it might come as a surprise
that, while using street people as comedic foils, Stern and his wife
Alison are directors of a not-for-profit group formed to donate money
for "the prevention of hunger, homelessness and domestic violence,"
according to these New York incorporation papers. Though organized in
April 1997, the H & A Stern Family Foundation's philanthropic history
is unknown since the group has not filed financial disclosure reports
with either the Internal Revenue Service or the New York State Attorney
General. But we're sure Howard works real hard combatting the urban
ills festering 54 stories below his ritzy Manhattan condominium. (5
