Bill Gates may have just set off the death of far-left-tainted philanthropy
The Hill ^ | 09/26/25 | Scott Walter

Posted on 09/26/2025 6:24:52 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

News broke recently that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation would sever ties with the shadowy consulting firm Arabella Advisors and its “nonprofit network closely associated with the Democratic Party.”

The Arabella network has received over $450 million in grants from Gates over the years, so this announcement comes as a devastating blow to Arabella’s billion-plus dollar network. But it may also be a sign that our hyper-politicized charitable sector has reached an inflection point. An institutional realignment may be coming that will leave the left in the lurch and change American philanthropy for the better.

My organization was the first outlet to reveal to the public the existence of Arabella Advisors and its network of in-house nonprofits. We literally wrote the book on Arabella — a book that features Bill Gates on its cover.

Our research, and that of many allies, dragged Arabella into the daylight, and Arabella has struggled with the unwelcome publicity. In a few short years Arabella has let go two CEOs (one shortly after she admitted to a reporter that Arabella was the “left’s equivalent of the [conservative] Koch brothers”), undergone an investigation from the D.C. attorney general, initiated a round of layoffs, and still faces a lawsuit from a woman apparently fired after she objected to what she viewed as a range of illegal activities.

Even though Arabella has built the largest “dark money” network anywhere on the political spectrum, donors have thus far continued to use it as a vehicle for more traditional apolitical charity as well. This provides Arabella’s political machine with a reliable cushion of consulting fees to get through the non-election years. This pattern repeats across the charitable sector.

Tie them to Antifa and you can throw both Gates in prison for life. To make it even better put them in a cell together. No doubt their money has funded domestic terrorism.

The Arabella network’s biggest benefactors are the left’s own billionaire heroes, including George Soros, Bill Gates, Hansjorg Wyss, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman.

Dark money = USAID money. Odd that he won’t have the funds to continue.

The list of dogooder “trusts” is YUGE. It may take until the 20th of never to get them on board.

“The democrats are really the Mafia”

The Mafia is more honorable. And more patriotic.

And the Koch Brothers weren’t non-profit.

Why has no one been reporting on this group?

"Arabella Advisors is a Washington, D.C.–based for-profit consulting company that advises left-leaning donors and nonprofits about where to give money and manages several "dark money" groups supportive of the Democratic Party and the progressive movement. It was founded by former Clinton administration appointee Eric Kessler. In 2023, Arabella raised more than $1.3 billion in anonymous donations and sent nearly $1.5 billion to other organizations. Between Arabella's founding in 2005 and 2021, Arabella took in $6.5 billion, the vast majority of which flowed to policy and litigation groups on the left."
