Bradley Impact Fund
The Bradley Impact Fund is a donor-advised fund "aligned with" the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation that gives grants to right-wing and conservative organizations identified by the Bradley Foundation.[1] The Bradley Foundation is "a cornerstone for the conservative movement in Wisconsin and across America," according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.[2]
The Bradley Impact Fund is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and describes its mission as "To provide funding to organizations that research public policy and educate the public on policy issues."[3] Gabe Conger, a Heritage Foundation alumni, was announced as the incoming President of the Bradley Impact Fund. Conger succeeded Jessica Dean, who is now the senior vice president for development.[4]
Like DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund (DT and DCF), the Bradley Impact Fund is a "donor-advised fund," which means that the fund creates separate accounts for individual donors, and the donors then recommend disbursements from the accounts to different non-profits. They cloak the identity of the original mystery donors because the funds are then distributed in the name of the fund, contributing another step to what in the case of DT and DCF has been called a "murky money maze."[5]
