Events Sponsored

Event	Description
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation	Very influential and rich foundation established to take leadership of global health.
Democracy Fund
Koch family foundations	Controlled by the billionaire Koch brothers, who finance the 'right' in US politics when they say the right things.
Lumina Foundation
Omidyar Network	"A philanthropic investment firm"
Open Society Foundations	A NGO operating in more countries than McDonald's. It has the tendency to support politicians (at times through astroturfing) and activists that get branded as "extreme left" as its founder is billionaire and bane of the pound George Soros. This polarizing perspective causes the abnormal influence of the OSF to go somewhat unanswered.
PepsiCo	U.S. Multinational corporation
Rockefeller Brothers Fund
Rockefeller Foundation
Smith Richardson Foundation	CIA front organization that funds select projects with $$$
