Search results for donors trust

Over the past year, Greenpeace and other researchers have discovered that Donors Trust, a shadowy funding operation for anti-government extremists, is laundering millions of dollars in climate denial funding for donors who do not want to be associated with their pet causes. Since the late 1990s, Greenpeace has tracked and exposed the funding to climate denial front groups from Big Oil donors, including ExxonMobil and the Koch Brothers foundations. As these funding connections have been revealed, the publicly traceable funding to these groups has slowly declined, while the overall revenue and budgets of these groups has increased in many cases. This has coincided with a sharp increase in anonymous and untraceable funding for denial groups through Donors Trust.
