Arabella Network's Leftist 'Dark Money' Influence Expanding, Author Reveals"...Other really big donors to the Arabella network have [included Microsoft co-founder] Bill Gates. He is one of the largest, mostly through his foundation. [Facebook founder] Mark Zuckerberg has given tens of millions, mostly for criminal justice reform—quote unquote—[that results in] letting criminals back on the streets." -Scott Walter, president of the Capital Research Center
Walter's new book "Arabella: The Dark Money Network of Leftist Billionaires Secretly Transforming America" shows that in the 2020 election cycle, Arabella Advisors' nonprofits took in $2.4 billion. That's $1 billion more than the combined fundraising of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee. That amount rose to $3 billion in the 2022 election cycle, Walter says. Moreover, he adds, nothing on the Right comes close to competing. "Arabella does not discriminate. It is working on arcane regulatory issues ... but it also is running Facebook ads, attacking certain congressional candidates and boosting others. It plays in environmental issues. It plays in abortion issues. It plays in election policy," Walter says on "The Daily Signal Podcast." Walter is set to testify Tuesday before the House Natural Resources Committee about what he calls "left-wing dark money [used] to influence environmental policy." "Arabella also continues to be very active in the environmental policy area in all sorts of ways," he adds. Arabella-backed organizations have been involved in battles over abortion and Supreme Court nominations and advocated that biological males compete in women's sports. Walter's book details how two Arabella-aligned groups, the Center for Secure and Modern Elections and the Institute for Responsive Government, are involved in shaping election policy at the local level. He notes that an Arabella-sponsored group funded by billionaire financier George Soros helped formulate the Biden administration's recent change in Title IX policy to make it easier for biological males to compete in girls' scholastic sports. "That was plotted through a highly secretive group in the Arabella network, funded entirely with Soros money," Walter said. "Governing for Impact, which they started in 2019, two years before the Biden administration was even sworn in. And they worked with Harvard Law School folks to do very sophisticated legal strategy memos of how to overturn dozens of regulations in the federal government, the most famous being Title IX." What differentiates Arabella from other major donors on the Left is the level of secrecy, Walter says. The network is more secretive than most nonprofits financed by Soros and his family, he says. "We have tracked the institutional donors, and we can tell you that for almost all of the Arabella nonprofits, Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund, which provides donor-advised funds to wealthy people, is the largest," Walter said. He added, "Other really big donors to the Arabella network have [included Microsoft co-founder] Bill Gates. He is one of the largest, mostly through his foundation. [Facebook founder] Mark Zuckerberg has given tens of millions, mostly for criminal justice reform—quote unquote—[that results in] letting criminals back on the streets." A spokesperson for Arabella Advisors didn't respond to The Daily Signal's request for comment for this report.
