Republican AGs Ask DOJ to Investgate Over 150 Nonprofits

Last month, 19 Republican state attorneys general wrote a letter to the United States Department of Justice requesting that the DOJ “investigate over 150 U.S.-based organizations which over the past decade have collectively received nearly $2 billion in foreign dark money from five organizations that push extreme policies and fund left-wing green-energy and climate advocacy.” The five identified foreign funding organizations are the Oak Foundation, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, Quadrature Climate Foundation, KR Foundation, and the Laudes Foundation. The letter relies on an October 2025 report from Americans for Public Trust titled “Foreign Charities Fueling Extreme Policies in the U.S.“

The AGs allege that “all five foreign entities use funding to direct climate activism and influence energy policy in the United States, including by funding U.S. policy fights, litigation, research, protests, and lobbying to advance an extreme, foreign, activist agenda.” They also ask DOJ to investigate the funded organizations for possible violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
