The Scaife Foundations refer collectively to three foundations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The three subdivisions are: the Allegheny Foundation, the Sarah Scaife Foundation, and the Scaife Family Foundation. A fourth foundation, the Carthage Foundation, was folded into the Sarah Scaife Foundation in 2014.
The Scaife Foundations was overseen by the late right-wing billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, whose wealth was inherited from the Mellon industrial, oil, aluminum and banking fortune. The foundations give tens of millions of dollars annually to fund "right-wing" organizations such as the American Legislative Exchange Council, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Heritage Foundation, and anti-immigrant and Islamophobic organizations such as the Center for Immigration Studies and the David Horowitz Freedom Center.[1][1][2]
After the death of Richard Scaife in 2014, a significant portion of his assets were given to the foundations, increasing their value substantially. Together with the Carthage merger, the bequest made the Sarah Scaife Foundation one of the largest foundations focused on supporting right-wing causes with assets expected to grow to grow to some $800 million in 2015.[3]
