There are “more than a dozen” people on the far-right Heritage Foundation’s board that have supporting organizations that funnel cash to NCF. There are also supporting organizations are that are run by NCF staffers. “They certainly sell it to donors as, we do what you want with this money,” said a tax analyst familiar with NCF’s filings. NCF is a donor-advised fund, which means that donors can suggest how the money is used, although they are legally not allowed to tell the organization what to do with their donations.
The group has given grants to 63,000 non-profits since it was founded decades ago, including Heritage Foundation, one of the biggest groups trying to stop the Equality Act from passing. And they’re likely fully aware of how the money is being spent. In its 2018 Form 990, NCF gave $6,585,923 to ADF, money that came from people like Cathy and DeVos. Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), an SPLC designated hate group, is believed to be behind this effort.ĪDF is also responsible for this year’s spate lawsuits targeting anti-discrimination legislation, filing on behalf of Christian business owners who haven’t even been asked to serve LGBTQ customers but claiming that their religious freedom is impeded by the mere existence of civil rights laws. Meanwhile, dozens of states are considering and passing legislation to limit LGBTQ – and particularly transgender – rights, legislation that lawmakers often don’t really understand or can’t explain how it relates to their state. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who has not come out in support of the bill, has been subjected to a massive call-in campaign organized by Christian groups and that the calls have been “a thousand to one” against the Equality Act. Sources in the Capitol said in April that Sen. That the bill hasn’t passed after being introduced in Congress in some form for decades has been something of a mystery. It polls well – 70% of voters said they supported it in a poll this past March – but it’s still far from getting close to the 60 votes necessary in the Senate to pass. The Equality Act would add sexual orientation and gender identity to existing federal civil rights legislation. Texas Pride Impact Funds serves as a community foundation to propel the LGBTQ movement in Texas by supporting nonprofits that help thousands of our citizens across the state every day.The report comes as the Equality Act stalls in the Senate.
