Latest revision as of 17:52, 15 August 2017

The Jaquelin Hume Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization "support[ing] free-market solutions to education reform," and funds many conservative and libertarian organizations. [1] [2] Founded in 1962 and headquartered in San Francisco, Jaquelin Hume began funding various free-market initiatives and started focusing its money more specifically in education reform "including charter schools, vouchers, standards and curricula," in 1998. [2] Below are links to its annual IRS Form 990s, which list the organizations it has funded since 1999. This article is a breakout of the State Policy Network article.

Ties to the State Policy Network

Gisèle Huff, the Executive Director of the Jaquelin Hume Foundation, was scheduled to speak at the 25th annual meeting of the State Policy Network. The annual meeting was held in San Antonio, TX between August 29 - September 1, 2017. [3] Gisèle Huff is a member of the Board of Directors of the State Policy Network. [4] [5]

SPN is a web of right-wing “think tanks” and tax-exempt organizations in 48 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. As of June 2024, SPN's membership totals 167. Today's SPN is the tip of the spear of far-right, nationally funded policy agenda in the states that undergirds extremists in the Republican Party. SPN Executive Director Tracie Sharp told the Wall Street Journal in 2017 that the revenue of the combined groups was some $80 million, but a 2022 analysis of SPN's main members IRS filings by the Center for Media and Democracy shows that the combined revenue is over $152 million.[6] Although SPN's member organizations claim to be nonpartisan and independent, the Center for Media and Democracy's in-depth investigation, "EXPOSED: The State Policy Network -- The Powerful Right-Wing Network Helping to Hijack State Politics and Government," reveals that SPN and its member think tanks are major drivers of the right-wing, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)-backed corporate agenda in state houses nationwide, with deep ties to the Koch brothers and the national right-wing network of funders.[7]

In response to CMD's report, SPN Executive Director Tracie Sharp told national and statehouse reporters that SPN affiliates are "fiercely independent." Later the same week, however, The New Yorker's Jane Mayer caught Sharp in a contradiction. In her article, "Is IKEA the New Model for the Conservative Movement?," the Pulitzer-nominated reporter revealed that, in a recent meeting behind closed doors with the heads of SPN affiliates around the country, Sharp "compared the organization’s model to that of the giant global chain IKEA." She reportedly said that SPN "would provide 'the raw materials,' along with the 'services' needed to assemble the products. Rather than acting like passive customers who buy finished products, she wanted each state group to show the enterprise and creativity needed to assemble the parts in their home states. 'Pick what you need,' she said, 'and customize it for what works best for you.'" Not only that, but Sharp "also acknowledged privately to the members that the organization's often anonymous donors frequently shape the agenda. 'The grants are driven by donor intent,' she told the gathered think-tank heads. She added that, often, 'the donors have a very specific idea of what they want to happen.'"[8]

A set of coordinated fundraising proposals obtained and released by The Guardian in early December 2013 confirm many of these SPN members' intent to change state laws and policies, referring to "advancing model legislation" and "candidate briefings." These activities "arguably cross the line into lobbying," The Guardian notes.[9]

News and Controversies

In 2017, the Jaquelin Hume Foundation donated money to support personalized learning programs, however educators question the methodologies and computer-driven learning environments supported by personalized learning programs. [10] [11] [12] [13]

Ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council

The Jaquelin Hume Foundation has granted $220,000 to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) between 1999 and 2011, according to a review of the foundation's IRS filings by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD).

Larger Jaquelin Hume Foundation grants go to ALEC members like SPN, the Heritage Foundation which received $1,725,000 between 1999 and 2011, Institute for Humane Studies, and the Manhattan Institute (TPPF). Data from IRS 990-PF Forms, 1999-2011 (see section below).

About ALEC
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve “model” bills. Learn more at the Center for Media and Democracy's ALECexposed.org, and check out breaking news on our ExposedbyCMD.org site.

Funding

Between 1999 and 2012 the Jaquelin Hume Foundation made $65,808,982 in donations. [14] In 2012, the Jaquelin Hume Foundation made $4,643,736 in donations. [15]
