Ford foundation
The Ford Foundation is a liberal, leftwing foundation. It is a tax-exempt 501c organization headquartered in New York City.
The Ford Foundation is one of the largest foundations in the world with over $10 billion in assets.[1] Founded in 1936, it donates to thousands of organizations worldwide but has donates largely to leftist groups. They are truly a money hub for far-left, radical liberal groups.
In 2010 alone, it allocated large contributions to George Soros-backed organizations such as Center for American Progress ($1,000,000) and Media Matters for America ($500,000), who recently "declared war" on Fox News. Other notable far-left groups it donated to include New Israeli Fund ($5,000,000), Astraea Foundation ($2,300,000), Global Rights ($2,000,000) and Amnesty International ($1,000,000).[2]
