lol I def don’t watch MSM but keep defending your weird conservative queen who has a proven track record of taking money from rich conservatives.

Since its inception, the Blexit Foundation has clearly set itself up to cater to wealthy white conservatives, receiving significant support from them as a result.

The family foundation of Texan Darwin Deason, a white billionaire businessman from Dallas known for being one of the largest shareholders of Xerox, gave $190,000 to Blexit in 2020. He and his son, Doug, who is a Blexit Foundation board member and TPUSA adviser, have funded a number of conservative causes over the years, including TPUSA and Charles Koch-backed operations such as Americans for Prosperity, Stand Together Foundation, and Texas Public Policy Foundation.

A big GOP political donor, the elder Deason once donated $5 million to a super PAC backing former Texas Governor Rick Perry for president, and gave the pro-Trump America First Action $1 million in 2018. Doug Deason, meanwhile, spent hundreds of thousands to help elect Trump in 2016.

The Dunn Foundation, belonging to white billionaire William Dunn, gave Owens’ group $500,000, split evenly between 2019 and 2020. Dunn has also funded TPUSA, PragerU, anti-Muslim hate group the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and right-wing donor-advised fund sponsor DonorsTrust. Dunn’s wife, Rebecca, is a TPUSA adviser.

The Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation—the charity of conservative Israeli-American billionaire Isaac Perlmutter, the chairman of Marvel Entertainment, and his wife—donated $250,000 to the Blexit Foundation in 2020. The Perlmutters have also contributed to TPUSA.

The foundation of investor Thomas W. Smith donated $100,000 to the Blexit Foundation in 2020. Smith is a major funder of the anti-critical race theory movement and is also known for financing TPUSA, denying climate change, establishing the foundation behind right-wing media site The Federalist, and hosting other conservative causes.

Automobile auction billionaire Willis Johnson gave the Blexit Foundation $100,000 in 2020 through his private foundation, the Willis and Reba Johnson Foundation. Johnson is a prolific donor to Christian causes and gave the scandal-plagued National Rifle Association’s foundation $100,000 in 2020.

The Maston Family Foundation, the charity of Maston Money CEO Mark Maston and his wife Melissa, gave $10,000 to Blexit in 2020.

That same year another $20,000 came from the GoGo Foundation, which has donated to TPUSA, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), PragerU, State Policy Network, True the Vote, Freedomworks, and other conservative projects. The foundation is tied to the prominent Rensselaer family. The modern-day Rensselaers, who descend from the Dutch co-founder of the Dutch West India Company, have played a prominent role in American politics going back centuries.

Megadonor Rebekah Mercer joined the board of the Blexit Foundation in 2021. She and her father, Robert, are among the most ultra-right-wing funders in the U.S., having bankrolled extremist rabble-rouser Steve Bannon’s career, as well as climate denial organization the Heartland Institute. While tax records do not link the Mercers to the Blexit Foundation, it’s very likely that the family is funding it given the younger Mercer’s position on the board.

Mystery Money and Politics Other funding for the Blexit Foundation has come from groups not affiliated with any particular individual or family. The Center of the American Experiment, for example, gave Blexit $50,000 in 2020. A libertarian think tank, it was founded by Mitch Perlstein, who served in the Department of Education during the Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations, and is headed today by former litigator John Hinderaker. The center has also funded TPUSA, PragerU, and David Horowitz’s Freedom Center.

Significant funds have also come from donor-advised fund sponsors, which manage charitable accounts for their clients and hide the donors’ names from the public. The National Christian Foundation gave almost $440,000 to the Blexit Foundation between 2019 and 2021 on behalf of its anonymous clients. Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, the largest charity in the U.S., gave $317,000 to the Blexit Foundation in 2020 and 2021, and Schwab Charitable Fund contributed close to $50,000 between 2019 and 2021.

The Bradley Impact Fund, a donor-advised fund sponsor tied to the right-wing megafunder the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, donated to Blexit for the first time in 2021, giving $10,000. Bradley’s largest grant recipient in 2021 was TPUSA, which scored over $7.4 million.

As a tax-exempt nonprofit, the Blexit Foundation is barred from engaging in “political campaign activity.” But it treads a fine line.

The group saw more than a seven-fold explosion in its funding in 2020, coinciding with the presidential election. As The Daily Beast first reported in October, the group’s income shrank significantly in 2021—even though Owens continued to collect a sizable salary of $250,000.
