The Left’s Overlooked Money Hub Allegedly Broke the Law in Administering Federal Grants
25th October 2026
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, a left-leaning funding hub, received more than $50 million from federal agencies even as a former executive alleged serious compliance, accounting, and cybersecurity failures.
Unlike a traditional private foundation, RPA moves hundreds of millions of dollars both as a donor-advised-fund sponsor and as a fiscal sponsor for more than 100 projects, allowing donors to route money without revealing its ultimate source.
According to tax records, it has exchanged millions of dollars with other foundations in the Left’s ecosystem, such as the Tides network, the Open Society Foundations of Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros, and nonprofits previously associated with Arabella Advisors. Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors has also funded abortion, immigration, and climate activist groups.
“As a donor advised fund, RPA takes in funding from sources it need not name and then either sends the money out as grants to left-leaning NGOs or creates fiscally sponsored projects to do some of the same work in-house,” Ken Braun, director of content at the Capital Research Center, told the Daily Signal.
