Donors of Anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ Group Revealed

Center for Community Change's unredacted tax forms show stealth funders
BY: Joe Schoffstall, October 4, 2017 5:00 am

The hidden donors to a prominent anti-Trump "resistance" organization are revealed in unredacted tax forms obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Center for Community Change, a Washington, D.C.-based 501 (c)(3) progressive community organizing group that does not reveal its donors, has been involved in direct action against President Donald Trump and Republicans before and after the November elections. The organization's members sit on the boards of other prominent liberal activist groups.

The Free Beacon has obtained the group's unredacted 2015 tax forms that shed light on its funders, who provide millions of dollars in assistance. The group appears to rely heavily on a few major liberal foundations, organizations, and unions.

The Center for Community Change's largest contribution was $3,000,000 from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which was initially created by Will Kellogg, the food manufacturer and founder of Kellogg Company. The Ford Foundation, which was first created by the founders of the Ford Motor Company, added a $2,350,000 donation. The Open Society Foundation, a foundation run by liberal billionaire mega-donor George Soros, gave $1,750,000 to the Center for Community Change.

Other donors to the organization include the California Endowment, which gave $524,500; the Marquerite Casey Foundation, which gave $515,000; Fidelity Charitable Gift, which donated $505,100; and the National Immigration Law Center, which gave $316,000.

All about buying votes.

In the old days, the money went directly to the voter. Now it goes to the foundations that earn millions and only promise voters money/free things through legislation. A rose by any other name.

“UPDATE 10:30 AM: Following publication, a representative from Fidelity Charitable said that the donations under their name was recommended from individual donors who have donor-advised fund accounts with the group, and do not represent the views or endorsement of Fidelity Charitable or Fidelity Investments.”


And the damage control begins. Good thing I went with vanguard and not fidelity

Ford and Kellog. I didn’t see that coming. Time to ditch the stocks

It’s scary how your money can be used to fund the very entity aimed for your destruction

Gotta love it. Counter Threat Finance. Work just as well against drug dealers, terrorists, and progressives

I'm surprised AARP is not listed.

I checked the site and it looks like they're right, but I was considering combining our accounts at Vanguard anyway so this helped with the decision. They could restrict where "investors" can invest, I'd think.
