Activities

“To say the [Smith Richardson] foundation was involved at every level in the lobbying for and crafting of the so-called global war on terror after 9/11 would be an understatement,” wrote Kelley Vlahos in a profile of Nadia Schadlow, a former Trump administration deputy national security advisor who previously worked as the senior program director for Smith Richardson.[1]

The Foundation is one of the large donors to projects and NGOs closely aligned with US government objectives. The list is select entries from their form 990, 2011-2019.

According to an article in the April 18, 1981 edition of The Nation, The Smith Richardson Foundation not only has CIA agents reviewing grants, but also provides management training to the CIA and the Defense Department through an affiliate organization.[2]


Funding the Integrity Initiative

The Smith Richardson Foundation gave the Integrity Initiative £45,000 for cluster activities in Europe and the USA.
