Who Funds The ACLU?
Posted on October 5, 2006
I just recieved an email asking me what organizations fund the ACLU. I thought I should put the information I do know out here. If anyone has additional info on groups that fund the ACLU let me know and I will add them. Besides the membership donations and attorney fee awards the ACLU recieves funding from numerous far left organizations. The ACLU keeps its donor list pretty well guarded, but Discover the Networks has put together a pretty good list.
The ACLU has received funding from the Open Society Institute, the Arca Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Columbia Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. Macarthur Foundation, the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, the Minneapolis Foundation, the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation, the Open Society Institute, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Scherman Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Columbia Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the JEHT Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the Lear Family Foundation, the Public Welfare Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Woods Fund of Chicago.
I’m not sure about the other state branches but The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio said it will no longer accept funding from the United Way so as not to complete a required counterterrorism compliance form.
Last year The Center for Reclaiming Americ for Christ found a shocking discovery.
The Center for Reclaiming America for Christ has uncovered documents revealing that the Florida Supreme Court is responsible for helping to fund the ACLU of Florida - using interest from legal trust funds generated by unsuspecting home buyers, heirs, and legal awards and settlements. Between 1990 and 1997, the Florida Bar Foundation (FBF), a creation of the Florida Supreme Court, provided more than $600,000 to help pay the salary of the ACLU of Florida’s legal director.
That is all I’ve got on this. If you have more to add to the list let me know. The ACLU get plenty of money from all kinds of sources. A good chunk of it comes from your pocket whenever they win a case. You can help put a stop to that.

The Open Society Institute is a interesting one, because it is a George Soros organization that also gives money to the American Bar Association and campaign donations to the Democratic party. So in some cases, he has funded organizations that the judge and attorneys on both sides belong to, organizations funded by George Soros. That sure appears to be a conflict of interest to me and probably aids the cause of the ACLU. If the attorney working for the government is also a Democrat, it probably gives them another added bonus to defeat the government.
You have not demonstrated that. You’ve also not demonstrated that the donations were such that a recipient would be likely to act specifically on the donor’s behalf.
JM,
“You have not demonstrated that”
He gives money to the American Bar Association which does support his political agenda. That in itself links him to many attorneys and many judges. The question is does his money influence the political agenda of the ABA or does it just help spread it. Probably the later because the ABA like the ACLU is also connected to the United Nations and both organizations have agreed to forward the principles of the United Nations. Their method is to propagandize their members who may choose to misinterpret the laws to advance that political agenda. The ABA has a hand in accrediting legal universities which I am sure helps influence those promising new lawyers. Some attorneys resist the influence of propaganda for one reason or another while others fall under its sway and The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group formed to help them resist. You did realize some Judges are openly ruling by international law instead of United States law.
