July 31, 2015 (NewsBusters) -- In response to a series of incriminating under-cover videos from The Center for Medical Progress about the major abortion provider, organizations have been cutting ties -- or denying ties -- to Planned Parenthood. But where nonprofits are concerned, tax records keep the story straight.
Between 2010 and 2013, no fewer than 966 individual organizations donated to Planned Parenthood. Of those, 31 gave more than $1 million each during those four years, totaling $374,199,059. The seven highest donors made up $324.8 million of that.
These largest Planned Parenthood donors include Warren Buffett, George Soros, Bill Gates, and others. A summary of the top seven funders follows.
The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation -- $230,915,706
Warren Buffett’s Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation is by far the largest donor to Planned Parenthood in America. The President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway gave a total of $231 million to Planned Parenthood between 2010 and 2013. That’s over ten times as much as the next largest donor.
What’s more, Buffett’s contributions comprised over one fourth of Planned Parenthood’s private donations in 2013.
Buffett has always been tight-lipped about his abortion support and channels most of the money through the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named after Buffett’s late wife, who was a strong supporter of abortion.
The Foundation’s staff has ties to Planned Parenthood as well. Tracy Weitz, the Director of Domestic Programs at the Foundation, served as the manager of a San Francisco based Planned Parenthood for six years.
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation -- $22,827,000
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation has a long history of funding Planned Parenthood. Grant records starting in 2001 show millions of dollars in donations to Planned Parenthood’s “Population” program.
In the four years from 2010 to 2013, the Hewlett Foundation gave $22.8 million to Planned Parenthood. The Planned Parenthood support is part of Hewlett’s larger Global Development and Population Program, which claims to “expand women’s choices about whether to have children.”
Hewlett is one of the core organizing groups for the 2015 International Conference on Family Planning. In 2013, Hewlett was listed as a Core Donor and in 2011 as a Sponsor. The conference promotes population control through abortion and contraception.
Planned Parenthood, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and The David and Lucile Packard Foundation have also been part of each conference’s International Steering Committee since 2009.
In mid 2014, Hewlett Packard hired Christine Clark, a previous Planned Parenthood employee, as a Program Officer in the Global Development and Population Program.
Open Society Institute -- $18,350,000
Liberal billionaire George Soros is the third largest donor to Planned Parenthood. His Open Society Institute gave $18.4 million to the abortion giant. In 2011 alone, Open Society pledged to give Planned Parenthood $20 million over a four-year period. The grant was specifically to build centers in the “south and southeast regions” of the U.S.
There are staff connections between Open Society Foundations and Planned Parenthood as well. David Berry, the Senior Communications Officer at Open Society, and Magda Ali, an Advisory Board Member were both previously employed by Planned Parenthood.
Eric Ferrero, the current Vice President of Communications at Planned Parenthood, was previously employed as the Deputy Director of U.S. Programs at Open Society Foundations.
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation -- $14,691,659
Planned Parenthood’s “Population and Reproductive Health” program is near and dear to The David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Of the $14.7 million they gave between 2010 and 2013, nearly all went to that single program.
Since 2013, The Packard Foundation has added another $1.5 million in donations to Planned Parenthood - bringing their total financial support to $16.2 million since 2010.
The Packard Foundation’s own Population and Reproductive Health program seeks to “stabilize population growth,” among other things. Subprograms within that program include promoting abortions in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the United States.
Packard has also partnered with Planned Parenthood in the International Conference on Family Planning.
Previous Planned Parenthood employees now working at the Packard Foundation include Lisa Dacey, Program Operations Manager for the Population and Reproductive Health program; and Felicia Madsen, Communications Director.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation -- $14,521,748
In December 2014, Melinda Gates attempted to argue that her foundation only supported the contraception element of Planned Parenthood - not the abortion side. Unfortunately for her argument, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was the fifth largest Planned Parenthood donor between 2010 and 2013 -- giving over $14.5 million.
Abortion’s biggest funder -- Warren Buffett -- is also a Gates Foundation trustee, and helps “shape and develop strategies” for the Foundation. Buffett is also a large contributor to the Gates Foundation.
The Foundation has also been heavily involved in supporting and sponsoring each International Conference on Family Planning.
Like the other major Planned Parenthood donors, The Gates Foundation has also hired previous Planned Parenthood employees. A non-exhaustive list includes Clarissa Brundage, Associate Program Officer for Family Planning; Emily Lockwood, Program Officer; Mariah Richardson, Associate Program Officer for Global Policy & Advocacy; and Meg DeRonghe, Senior Program Officer for Global Policy & Advocacy. Laura Tolosa-Leiva, Program Assistant, is so on the Board of Advocates for Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands.
Ford Foundation -- $13,486,250
The liberal Ford Foundation (not associated with Ford Motors) has one of the most direct and strong connections to Planned Parenthood. Not only did the Ford Foundation given $13.5 million to Planned Parenthood between 2010 and 2013, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s own president, Cecile Richards, is on the Ford Foundation’s Board of Trustees.
Similar to the other organizations who fund Planned Parenthood, The Ford Foundation has its own Gender, Sexuality and Reproductive Justice program which promotes the idea that “sexuality and the right to reproductive health are fundamental to the human experience.”
Since 2013, the Ford Foundation has donated another $1.4 million dollars -- bringing their total Planned Parenthood support to $14.9 million.
Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program -- $10,031,210
The last group which gave over $10 million is the Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program. Unlike the six other largest donors, Vanguard is a donor-driven fund, meaning that individual donors -- not Vanguard -- chose Planned Parenthood as the recipient of their money.
Donors who give to Planned Parenthood through Vanguard have the option of giving anonymously, therefore the actual sources of the $10 million Planned Parenthood donations are impossible to find.
Together, these top seven funders gave Planned Parenthood a total of $324.8 million between 2010 and 2013.

But the biggest supporter of all is the american taxpayer. Our annual forced contributions to PP exceed all of the foundations etc put together.
We can no longer say, as they did in Germany, “We didn’t know...”
The butchery MUST stop!
Between the USG and these contributions, we’re talking close to $1 BILLION combined here...
Makes one wonder why they need to sell anything to “recover costs”.
The largest donor by far is the US taxpayer
and that needs to end
Right.
Why is Susan g Komen donating to Planned Parenthood? Why does one org donate money to another org? Komen spends more money advertising and lobbying than “fighting cancer”
They are skimming without a doubt.
I am now in favor of abolishing the non-profit status of these organizations and trust funds.
NOTE One of the most-used scams is one foundation (non-profit) writing a check to another non-profit....the way "philanthropists" skim off tax-free money for themselves.
The check receiver takes a cut...then deposits the bulk of the "donation" in a secret bank account for the donor's use later...tax-free.
=====================================================
The FBI, SEC and IRS would be interested in non-profits possible misuse of tax-free money.

It takes a lot out of their daily schedule to call StemExpress and set up the table and the instruments and the bags and the paper towels and to pull out the good stuff for the body part snatchers and open up the bubbly after the parts are collected and bagged.
It takes a lot of money, man.
============================================
Taxpayers should find out which banks are facilitating this.
<><> Which banks are designated the repositories of municipal tax dollars.
<><> Which banks are dispensing tax-revenue.
Official crimes might include--govt fraud, conspiracy, collusion, falsifying official documents (a felony), filing falsified documents, money laundering, tax evasion, extortion, theft, misuse of public facilities etc etc etc.
The SEC, FBI, banking oversight agencies, and the IRS, would be interested in the activities of govt agencies dispersal of tax revenue to profit-making body parts factory without the knowledge and consent of taxpayers.

============================================
The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized----to follow the paper trail and determine how tax revenue are dispersed. How tax revenue changed hands to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals and which community agencies dispersing tax revenue to P/P body parts factory might be personally profiting.
<><> L/E needs to examine official bank accounts.
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;
<><> To cover-up community agencies dispersing tax revenue to P/P body parts factory. wrongdoing, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into official accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.
<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for community agencies dispersing tax revenue to P/P body parts factory, insiders' personal use, and/or for redistribution schemes.
===============================================
NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.
Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.
=============================================
<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of community agencies checks, (2) wiretransfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.
L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
It would take some time to research all of these organizations, but here’s just “one”:
