About this website
Provides a searchable database of grants of money given to media groups by conservative organizations. This database picks up where previous inquiries had left off, and actually connects the money to the media.
"The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP), which has kindly allowed [the site] to re-use some of their data, reported in 1997 on the grant making activities of 12 foundations over the period 1992 through 1994. That report, titled 'Moving A Public Policy Agenda: The Strategic Philanthropy of Conservative Foundations,' laid out a fine groundwork for understanding this movement, yet fell short in providing a comprehensive, interactive, open-to-all database that maps out the actual grants, for all to see. People for The American Way accurately described the engine of this movement in the title of another report on the phenomenon called "Buying a Movement."
