Senate report released this week claims that a large network of left-wing groups, non-profit organizations, and ultra wealthy individuals may be working together to illegally influence environmental public policy.

Money enters the network through three groups the report terms the “Billionaire’s Club”: the Environmental Grantmakers Association, the Democracy Alliance, and the “Invest/Divest movement.”

The network funnels money from “charitable” foundations, often through 501(c)(3) “educational” nonprofit groups, to activist organizations that attempt to influence legislation, elections, regulatory actions, or public perception on major environmental issues.
