Foreign Activists Dropped Nearly $2B Into Climate Push
31st October 2025
A new report by Americans for Public Trust claims that a group of foreign-based charities has quietly spent almost $2 billion funding U.S. nonprofit organizations engaged in climate advocacy, litigation, and policy campaigns.
The 31-page study, Foreign Charities Fueling Extreme Policies in the U.S., names five European foundations that it says have steered hundreds of millions of dollars into American organizations promoting rapid transitions away from fossil fuels and other energy reforms.
The report identifies Britain’s Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, Denmark’s KR Foundation, Switzerland’s Oak Foundation and Laudes Foundation, and the United Kingdom’s Quadrature Climate Foundation as key financial sources.
