Findings

  • After the 2022 Bradley Impact Fund mega-grant of $27.1M, both Bradley and Conservative Partnership Institute zeroed out their AFL giving and were replaced by Donors Trust, whose grants to AFL scaled 127x from 2023 ($129,250) to 2024 ($3,191,074), a structural pivot from a named ideological foundation to a fully anonymizing donor-advised-fund sponsor
    notus.org
  • Bradley Impact Fund disbursed $244.5M across 1,835 cash grants (2013-2024), concentrating 51.9% in its top 10 recipients and escalating Turning Point USA funding ~59x from $251K (2019) to $14.8M (2021).
    exposedbycmd.org
  • Eugene Scalia joined the Bradley Foundation board on 1/18/2022, exact date in the 990-PF
    projects.propublica.org
  • Five distinct CPI-incubated organizations were directly named in Arctic Frost subpoenas, confirming the federal investigation treated the CPI ecosystem as institutional infrastructure for the 2020 overturn effort
    grassley.senate.gov
  • At least 14 named officers from our entity graph appear directly in Arctic Frost subpoena lists, the CPI / Center for Renewing America / America First Legal personnel layer IS the Arctic Frost defendant pool
    grassley.senate.gov
  • Jack Smith's 'Arctic Frost' investigation issued 197 grand jury subpoenas targeting 430+ named Republican individuals and entities, the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) was directly subpoenaed at least 4 separate times as a target
    projects.propublica.org
  • Bradley Foundation paid America First Legal $27.1M in 2022, nearly 3x AFL's own reported 990 revenue ($9.6M in 2023), strongly suggesting money flowed through additional vehicles
    notus.org
  • America First Legal lost Bradley Impact Fund and CPI as named grantors after the 2022 mega-grant, and was rebuilt on Donors Trust (a DAF) which scaled grants to AFL 24.7x from 2023 to 2024
