'''The Randolph Foundation''' is a New York City-based conservative foundation. According to a [http://aaupuc.org/horowitz.htm report] done by the Cincinatti chapter of the [http://www.aaup.org American Association of University Professors], "Prior to May 8, 2003, the H. Smith Richardson Charitable Trust was known as The Randolph Foundation. On that date, the former Randolph Foundation transferred all of its assets (with a fair market value of $49 million) to the new Randolph Foundation which is treated as a successor organization for tax purposes. After the transfer, the original Randolph Foundation was renamed the H. Smith Richardson Charitable Trust and received an initial grant of $48.5 million from the [[Smith Richardson Foundation]]."
In addition to the contributions to Ivy League universities, hospitals, medical foundations, and more, the Randolph Foundation has contributed millions of dollars to conservative think tank groups such as [[Americans for Prosperity]], a [[Koch Brothers]] right-run wing organization, [[DonorsTrust]], [[Manhattan Institute for Policy Research]], [[Philanthropy Roundtable]], [[Acton Institute]], and [[Independent Women's Forum]].
The foundation sponsored a [[Students for Academic Freedom|questionable study]] on professor political affiliations often cited by advocates of the campaign for academic freedom and [[intellectual diversity]].
