Advancement Project

Founded in 1999 by veteran civil-rights lawyers, describes itself as a “civil rights law, policy, and communications ‘action tank’ that advances universal opportunity and a just democracy for those left behind in America,” meaning nonwhite minorities. Specifically, the Project works to organize “communities of color” into politically cohesive units while disseminating its leftist worldviews and values as broadly as possible by way of a sophisticated communications department. A key funder of AP National is George Soros‘s Open Society Institute, which in 2009 alone gave $500,000 to the organization. Other leading funders include the California Endowment, the Ford Foundation, the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Vanguard Public Foundation. Read more at Discover the Networks…
