AP News Supported by Progressive Foundations

The Associated Press (AP) receives support from several private foundations with progressive agendas to fund its coverage of elections and democracy, including Nikole Hannah-Jones of the “1619 Project,” which in turn gets funding from Meta (formerly Facebook), Humanity United, the Trellis Fund, the Art for Justice Fund, Open Society Foundations, The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.

Each of the entities listed has known connections to anti-American financiers. Other supporters include the Lilly Endowment Inc., the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.

The Jonathan Logan Family Foundation supports organizations advancing social justice, including the New Georgia Project, run by Stacey Abrams, and Take Back the Court, which advocates for expanding the U.S. Supreme Court to address various social and political issues. The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation funds Planned Parenthood and Advocates for Youth, whose curriculum, “Rights, Respect, Responsibility” (3Rs), introduces concepts like “same-gender parents” and the idea that boys and girls can have different body parts than typically expected, starting as early as kindergarten.

The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation criticized the recent Supreme Court decision overturning affirmative action, arguing it hinders colleges from addressing systemic racial inequalities. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute committed $2 billion to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in science. The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, unrelated to the Pulitzer Prize, focuses on issues like migration, social justice, and censorship under the guise of misinformation.

Report for America receives funding from the Google News Initiative, Microsoft, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Meanwhile, The Conversation in the U.K. gets funding from the Ford Foundation via the Kresge Foundation, through the Tides Foundation, associated with George Soros.
