A decade ago I contacted a Jewish friend after having some trouble with the ADL verifying some data. At that time Abe Foxman headed the operation, and had done so for years. My friend told me that the ADL was a shadow of its former self and Foxman himself was a weak reed and not to be depended upon. She was right, of course, and now I see this:

So who funds the ADL? Who knows?

The Anti-Defamation League is under scrutiny after publishing a “target list” of people they deem to be “alt-right” or “alt-light,” and now one of those named on the list is demanding answers about the organization’s funding. The organization reports that they take in approximately $52 million in funding annually — while paying out over $32 million to their employees, which is over 60%. https://twitter.com/jackposobiec/status/888854711423598593
According to the ADL’s page on the Charity Navigator, they claim to spend 12.0% on administrative assets, 15.9% on fundraising expenses, and 71.9% on program expenses. The website gave the organization one star out of four on their financial spending.
Jonathan Greenblatt reported $168,665 “compensation from affiliates” as the Chief Executive Officer in 2015, while the former National Director Abraham H. Foxman received $446,748.

I see. Yes, ADL appeared to go straight downhill during his regime there. It’s too bad because a meaningful active effective ADL is sorely ( and increasingly? Needed nowadays, particularly to counter the anti- semitism exuding ( again, alas!) from the far Left end of the political spectrum
