Sarah Scaife Foundation

The Sarah Scaife Foundation is one of the Scaife Foundations overseen by the late right-wing billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, whose wealth was inherited from the Mellon industrial, oil, aluminum and banking fortune. The foundations give tens of millions of dollars annually to fund right-wing organizations such as the American Legislative Exchange Council, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Heritage Foundation, and anti-immigrant and Islamophobic organizations such as the Center for Immigration Studies and the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

• Sarah Scaife Foundation
• Carthage Foundation (now merged with Sarah Scaife Foundation)
• Allegheny Foundation

While the Allegheny Foundation focuses its giving in the western Pennsylvania region, the Sarah Scaife Foundation has a national and international focus. The Sarah Scaife and Carthage Foundations merged aat the end of 2014.

After the death of Richard Scaife in 2014, a significant portion of his assets were given to the foundations, increasing their value substantially. Together with the Carthage merger, the bequest made the Sarah Scaife Foundation one of the largest foundations focused on supporting right-wing causes with assets expected to grow to grow to some $800 million in 2015.

Ties to the Council for National Policy

The Sarah Scaife Foundation has provided funding to the Council for National Policy.

Council for National Policy

The Council for National Policy (CNP) is a secretive, Christian Right organization of funders and activists founded in 1981 by activist Morton Blackwell, commentator Paul Weyrich, direct-mail pioneer Richard Viguerie, right-wing activist Phyllis Schlafly and Left Behind author Tim LaHaye. Anne Nelson's book about CNP, Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right, describes how the organization connects "the manpower and media of the Christian right with the finances of Western plutocrats and the strategy of right-wing Republican political operatives.” CNP membership as of September 2020 is available here.

History

According to Jane Mayer, "[Richard] Scaife's parents created the largest of the family's tax-exempt, charitable foundations, the Sarah Scaife Foundation, in December 1941, days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It appears to have been timed to shelter the family's wealth from anticipated tax increases."

Scaife Became Chair, Commenced Right-Wing Funding

During the 1960s, Richard Mellon Scaife inherited an estimated $200 million from his mother, Sarah. The Foundation commenced funding "New Right" causes in 1973 when Richard became the foundation's chairman. His net personal worth was estimated at $800 million by Forbes magazine, which made Richard the 38th richest person in the United States.

Major Grants from 1985-2001

Between 1985 and 2001, the Sarah Scaife Foundation donated $15,860,000 to the Heritage Foundation; $7,333,000 to the Institute for Policy Analysis; $6,995,500 to the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace; $6,693,000 to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS); $4,411,000 to the American Enterprise Institute; $2,575,000 to the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research; $1,855,000 to the George C. Marshall Institute; $1,808,000 to the Hudson Institute; and $1,697,000 to the Cato Institute.
