A little-known nonprofit called The Sixteen Thirty Fund pumped $140 million into Democratic and left-leaning causes
In an email, Sixteen Thirty Fund executive director Amy Kurtz wrote that the group “provides support to advocates and social welfare organizations around the country, and we are pleased with the growth we had in 2018.”
A related organization called the Hub Project controlled the flow of money for this effort from Sixteen Thirty Fund into states and districts, according toby The New York Times. This year, the group is “continuing to work on campaigns that Americans care about,” Hub Project spokesman Dan Crawford said, including campaigns focused on health care, taxes and the economy.
More than $27 million of that money went to America Votes, another liberal nonprofit that describes itself as “the coordination hub of the progressive community” on its website. That grant by itself was nearly twice the amount America Votes had ever raised in a single year , according to federal tax records.
“The ballot initiative process offers an important counterbalance to the failings of partisan politics and we are proud of our support for some of the most impactful and important initiatives of the 2018 cycle,” Kurtz, the Sixteen Thirty Fund executive director, wrote in an email.
