The globe-trotting daughter of Al Sharpton followed her father’s footsteps by quietly launching her own “shadowy” non-profit four years ago, according to a new report.

Dominique Sharpton runs little-known Education for a Better America, a tax -exempt advocacy group that operates largely as an appendage of her dad’s National Action Network and even shares the same address and phone number.

The existence of EBA is as suspect as the $5 million sprained-ankle negligence lawsuit Dominique filed against the city, National Review magazine said Friday.

The non-profit reported $195,500 in donations last year, with $113,449 spent on “training workshops.”

The group’s director is Dominique Sharpton’s boyfriend, Marcus Bright, who resides and works in Florida and whose professional credentials were called into question.

“It’s all a scam,” the magazine quoted one source close to the Sharpton family.

“It’s a cover for money, basically, to subsidize [Dominique] Sharpton and Bright to do what they do. . . . They put it all on their Instagram and their Facebook. Most of the time, it’s like they’re on vacation.

“One could argue, being totally objective, that some of what [Al] Sharpton has done in terms of advocacy has helped black people and civil rights. Tell me one thing that Education for a Better America has done to help education.”

The group’s website said it promotes health and wellness, higher education and dropout prevention, among other initiatives.

EBA incorporated in Delaware in 2011, but actually operates out of 561 Seventh Ave. — the same address as the corporate office of the National Action Network.

Many entries listed as “news” on EAB’s website promote her preacher dad and NAN. Dominique also serves as NAN’s membership director.

EBA’s financial reports do not list Marcus Bright as executive director.
