Biden Foundation Coffers Filled by Democracy Alliance Members
Partners of secretive liberal donor club who help set liberal agenda provided more than half of Biden's funds
Members of a secretive left-wing donor network that
helps set the liberal agenda propped up Joe Biden's foundation prior to his presidential run by providing the charity with more than half of its cash, according to donor lists and tax forms.
The former vice president
launched the Biden Foundation, his personal nonprofit, in 2016 to "protect and advance the rights and opportunities of all people through educational programming and public policy analysis," focusing on advancing community colleges, violence against women, LGBTQ equality, and shaping foreign policy, among other areas.
The foundation raised a total of $6,623,173 in
2016 and
2017, according to tax forms from that year. A majority of this money came from deep-pocketed donors in the Democracy Alliance, a secretive group that actively works to keeps its membership hidden and together pushed
$1.83 billion into liberal infrastructure over the past 15 years, according to its internal documents.
