Conservative Group Accidentally Reveals Its Secret Donors. Some of Them Are Liberal Orgs.

American Compass included five key names on a 2022 tax statement that The Daily Beast obtained.

According to the tax statement, the Omidyar Network has contributed a total of $400,000 to American Compass since 2020. (In reality, Omidyar has donated $500,000, including forthcoming installments.) The Hewlett Foundation—a longtime supporter of National Public Radio—has accounted for more than one-third of American Compass’ total public support, giving a combined $1,486,000 over the same period, with an extra $475,000 dose this January.

That’s more than Hewlett gave to NPR or the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in the same timeframe.

The donations are striking because American Compass is a partner organization in Project 2025, a controversial right-wing think tank that has been building the policy and personnel firmament for a second Trump administration.

But y’know, you gotta vote for the “lesser evil”, regardless of the lesser evil’s tactics, regardless of where the lesser evil spends their money, regardless of who the lesser evil genocides in their homes-- you just gotta voot, and voot bloo, no matter whoooo 🙄

    Basically, the Trumpist fringe’s ‘playbook’ to more or less attempt to foist christofascist theocracy on the country under the hand of whoever wins the next Republican presidency(hence the name, they think 2025 is when this goes into effect), or so the breathless reporting about it makes it sound. Genuinely bad enough to make one question what liberal organizations are doing donating to think tanks curating polisci-offshoot college shooter-flavored manifestos like Project 2025.
