Findings

  • The 9-seat State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF, EIN 462604771) board functions as a verified interlock control surface for the anti-ESG state-treasurer apparatus: a single uncompensated director (Bridgett Wagner) concurrently held Heritage Foundation ED of the Feulner Institute ($273,375, tax year 2023), Foundation for Government Accountability Director, and SFOF Vice President in the same tax year, while ALEC's 501(c)(4) lobbying arm (Lisa B Nelson, CEO of the Jeffersonian Project, paid $507,409 via the parent ALEC in 2024) and the 1792 Exchange anti-ESG corporate-rating shop (Paul Fitzpatrick, President, $241,519 in 2024) sit beside her, and revenue tripled from $935K (tax year 2021) to $2.86M (tax year 2023) on a funding pyramid where $2.9M of identified IRS Schedule I dark-money grants (2021–2024) is dominated by Bradley Impact Fund ($1.16M), Consumers Research ($1.085M), and Donors Trust ($405K).
