Sponsors
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Charles Stewart Mott Foundation | Private foundation, began in 1926 |
| ClimateWorks | Large funder of projects intended to steer public opinion and take control over all government policy under the pretext of fighting climate change. Part of "a blob" of similar very wealthy interconnected foundations with opaque structures. Backers include Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg. |
| Hewlett Foundation | Huge foundation setting the agenda by funding lots of deep state projects. |
| MacArthur Foundation | Finances non-profit organizations and select people in approximately 50 countries around the world, buying immense cultural and political influence. It often coordinates its priorities with other deep state foundations, creating a mesh of grants, cross-grants and sub-grants that is very hard to analyze. |
