The Herald Sun understands the bonus formed part of the $4.8 million salary that Mr Fahour was paid in the 2012-2013 financial year.
The donation - expected to be declared in Australia Post’s financial report later this year - raised eyebrows within the organisation, with a source questioning the size of the bonus and the fact it was donated to a charity closely linked to Mr Fahour’s family

Opened in Thornbury in March by federal Treasurer Joe Hockey, the Islamic Museum of Australia showcases the heritage and culture of Australian Muslims, through art, architecture, food and installations.
It was inspired by the personal journey of Mr Fahour’s parents, who migrated to Australia from Lebanon in 1969, becoming successful business people and raising eight children, who also have successful careers.
The founder and director of the museum is former Macquarie Bank executive Moustafa Fahour - Ahmed Fahour’s brother. Moustafa’s wife, Maysaa, is the chairwoman and director.
The Fahours’ sister, MasterChef participant Samira El Khafir, is head chef and manages the cafe on site.
