InfluenceWatch Friday
InfluenceWatch, a project of Capital Research Center, is a comprehensive and ever-evolving compilation of our research into the numerous advocacy groups, foundations, and donors working to influence the public policy process. The website offers transparency into these influencers’ funding, motives, and connections while providing insight often neglected by other watchdog groups.
The information compiled in InfluenceWatch gives news outlets and other interested parties research to use in reporting on significant topics that are often overlooked by the American public.
CRC is pleased to present some of the most significant additions to InfluenceWatch in the past week:
- Western Resource Advocates (WRA) is an environmentalist advocacy group that has promoted left-of-center climate policies such as cutting carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2030 and reducing water usage in western U.S states by 25 percent. The WRA has received funding from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, the Catena Foundation, the National Philanthropic Trust, and the United States Energy Foundation. It has made grants to organizations that include American Rivers, Faith in Action Nevada, One Apia Nevada, and the River Network.
