A D.C.-based dark-money laundering organization (emulating the Tides Foundation) masquerading as a consulting company and acts as fiscal sponsors to liberal groups and initiatives. This centralized hub runs nonprofit arms that in turn have spawned a nexus of hundreds of front organizations outwardly designed to appear grassroots but actually working against ordinary people by expanding government control in the lives of Americans. Arabella’s vast network was unmasked in an extensive exposé by conservative watchdog Capital Research Center, which documents the shadowy system developed by, housed in and staffed by the for-profit, privately held Arabella Advisors. The Arabella firm in turn manages four nonprofits: the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Windward Fund, and Hopewell Fund. These nonprofit entities play host to hundreds of groups and projects that promote interests and political movements strategically deployed in a long-term campaign to nudge the country to the left.
The Arabella-managed funds have facilitated more than a billion dollars in anonymous funding to liberal groups and causes since President Trump took office. In fact, the Tides Foundation reported sending hundreds of thousands to the Hopewell Fund, nearly $1 million to the New Venture Fund, and tens of thousands to the Sixteen Thirty Fund on its most recent tax forms.
Through its four charities, Arabella Advisors has sponsored a veritable ant heap of front groups, such as
- Lady Parts Justice
- Lady Parts Justice League
- Abortion Access Force
- Abortion Access Front
- Abortion on Our Own Terms
- All Above All
- All Above All Action Fund
- Center for American Progress
- Center for Popular Democracy[10]
- Demand Justice[11]
- Democracy Alliance[12]
- Economic Security Project[13]
- Fix the Court
- Health Care for America Now
- Latino Victory Fund
- National Institute for Reproductive Health
- North Carolinians for a Fair Economy
- Restore Public Trust
Between 2007 and 2017, Arabella’s four nonprofit Funds paid a combined $76 million in management fees to Arabella Advisors. Between 2013 and 2017, the Arabella network received a staggering $1.6 billion in contributions to advance its donors’ agendas through dozens of “pop-up” groups and “astroturf ” initiatives.
Arabella Advisors has been accused of funding paid protesters through front groups the 2017 Charlottesville false flag riot, the 2018 Brett Kavanaugh hearings protests, and the 2021 Capitol false flag riot. Paid protesters for a day’s work can be recruited by a front group through Craig’s List.[14]
