The Free Beacon has obtained the group's unredacted 2015 tax forms that shed light on its funders, who provide millions of dollars in assistance. The group appears to
rely heavily on a few major liberal foundations, organizations, and unions.
The Center for Community Change's largest contribution was $3,000,000 from the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which was initially created by Will Kellogg, the food manufacturer and founder of Kellogg Company.
The Ford Foundation, which was first created by the founders of the Ford Motor Company, added a $2,350,000 donation.
The Open Society Foundation, a foundation run by liberal billionaire mega-donor George Soros, gave $1,750,000 to the Center for Community Change.
Other donors to the organization include
the California Endowment, which gave $524,500;
the Marquerite Casey Foundation, which gave $515,000;
Fidelity Charitable Gift, which donated $505,100 (Note: Fidelity itself did not donate, this figure reflects private individuals who used the company as a charitable vehicle for their own donations.); and
the National Immigration Law Center, which gave $316,000.
The Center for Community Change Action, the "social welfare" (c)(4) arm of the group, additionally relies on a handful of donors for almost all of its funding, according to its documents that do not include the privacy redactions.
Donors to its "social welfare" arm in 2015 included
Every Citizen Counts ($1,750,000 contribution), a nonprofit that was
created by allies of Hillary Clinton to mobilize Latino and African-American voters;
the Open Society Policy Center ($1,475,000), another Soros group;
the Sixteen Thirty Fund ($610,000), a progressive advocacy group;
Center for Community Change ($150,000);
Services Employees International Union (SEIU) ($150,000);
Atlantic Philanthropies ($75,000); and
the Tides Foundation ($50,000), the largest liberal donor-advised network, among other funders.
The Center for Community Change Action has been involved with anti-Trump campaigns for some time now. The group's members also sit on the advisory boards of other prominent liberal organizations.
Deepak Bhargava, the executive director of the Center for Community Change, sits on the advisory board of George Soros's Open Society Foundation.
The "Families Fight Back" voter campaign was launched during the 2016 presidential election by the Center for Community Change Action,
the Latino Victory Project, an immigration group co-founded by actress Eva Longoria, and America's Voice, a group that fights for a "direct, fair, and inclusive road to citizenship for immigrants in the United States without papers."
