Donors of anti-Trump 'resistance' group revealed | Fox News


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.

Does either company have control/input to the operations of their foundations?

On the negative side, Trump is using the bully pulpit to threaten and cajole manufacturers like Ford to produce their products in America, forcing their production costs to rise.

On the plus side, Trump is using his office to reduce regulation that costs those same businesses money, and Trump's "all in" on domestic energy is helping keep gasoline prices low, which is good for the economy generally, and doubly good for Ford, as customers choose to buy large trucks and SUV's that make more profit for the company compared to small economy cars.

Overall, I'd think at worst, Trump would be a push for Ford, but more probably, Ford would benefit from the Trump presidency. I don't know why they would donate against their own best interest.

Good question. Even if they do not, if the foundation goes off the rails and starts going against the interests of the company, at the very least the company should stop funding the foundation, until it gets with the program again.

You would think it would be a board decision about what groups to provide money to, but it could be a small panel that works autonomous from the larger group.

That was one of my first thoughts as well. Is there any direct ties back to the companies still? Board members, etc...

Another point as well. Are they still funding it or was this a trust set up years ago for philantrophy?
