The case for Barre Seid as the Heartland Institute's Anonymous Donor, Part 3.5: Reference Material

---

Update: summation posted here.

---

The Valentine's Day exposure of key Heartland Institute internal documents, exposing (inter alia) a scheme to "dissuade teachers from teaching science", made national and international news.  This story has now been covered at length on DK and elsewhere.  Throughout this story, a recurrent but unanswered question has been the identity of the "Anonymous Donor" who ponied up the support for Heartland's "science" "education" campaign.  

This is part of a series of diaries exploring the person I contend is by far the most likely candidate for this role: Chicago industrialist Barre Seid.

Previously: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

In this diary, I will list all donations via Donors Capital (other than Heartland's) that can be linked to Barre Seid with a reasonable degree of confidence, starting with those where his involvement is virtually certain.  This involves rehashing some material already reviewed in previous diaries.

It is not my intention here to pass judgment on any of these donations.  Many of them are commendable.  My only interest here is in using these donations to identify broader patterns of behavior that may or may not match up with the Heartland Institute's "Anonymous Donor".

This is supplementary material for a diary to be posted shortly, summarizing the case developed in the previous three diaries.  I am posting this material separately because my last two diaries on this topic have gotten a little bogged down in details, making it difficult to follow the core argument.  

Since this is intended to serve as reference material rather than a diary in its own right, I will edit it if & when more information becomes available, or if there are mistakes that need to be corrected.

Acknowledgments: The connections between Barre Seid and many of the donations listed below were originally traced by (other) members of the extraordinary Shimer College community in the course of repelling Seid's attempted takeover in 2009-2010.  Any errors are, of course, my own.  In addition, the Clarion Fund connection was first publicly identified by Salon journalist Justin Elliott, and the FJC connection by Richard Silverstein.

990s are available from various online sources, including GuideStar and FoundationCenter.  But here are convenient Scribd links to all public filings for Donors Capital: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010; Donors Trust: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010; and the Heartland Institute: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.

Disclaimer: Even if all of the assignments below are accurate, this is almost certainly not an exhaustive list of Seid's donations via Donors Capital -- or even of his major donations via Donors Capital.  There are a number of other Islamophobic and denialist outfits, in particular, that receive atypically large sums of money via Donors Capital, but lack the additional identifying characteristics -- previous Seid Foundation relationship, Chicago connection, etc. -- that enable us to identify Seid as the most likely donor in the cases below.

I've divided these into two groups: those donations in which I believe Seid's role has been established beyond reasonable doubt, and those in which his role merely appears to be highly probable.  

Contents:

Almost certain: Clarion - FJC - BIU - 2004 cluster - ITEF - Shimer

Probable: SAA - Chitester - ALGRF - LEADF - PICF - GEOF

Donations via Donors Capital that are almost certainly from Barre Seid

For the donations in this section not to be from Barre Seid, Mr. Seid would have to have an extremely wealthy evil twin, probably named "Barry", who goes around closely imitating his philanthropic behavior, and steps in to continue the donations whenever Mr. Seid steps back.

Clarion Fund
(about)

The Clarion Fund is a nonprofit that distributes Islamophobic videos, including some that have been used in law enforcement training; it has close links to the Orthodox group Aish HaTorah.  In 2008, the Clarion Fund received donations totaling $17.7 million via Donors Capital to support the distribution of its Obsession DVD as a newspaper insert shortly before the November 2008 election:

As of 2010, this was the largest amount ever donated to a single organization in a single year via Donors Capital or Donors Trust.

This donation is almost certainly from Barre Seid because:
- The Clarion Fund accidentally included a disclosure of the donor's identity in their public filing, referring to him as "Barry Seid"; there is no known Barry Seid who could be a plausible donor other than Chicago's Barre Seid
- All aspects of the donation are consistent with Barre Seid, a wealthy and frequent supporter of both right-wing causes and causes associated with the Jewish faith, and a known user of Donors Capital
- The donations reflect Seid's hands-on investment style and preference for "angel" investments in obscure causes

Foundation for Jewish Camp
(about)

Donations of $10 million were made via Donors Capital to the Foundation for Jewish Camp(ing) in 2007, 2008, and 2009.  These are the second, third, and fourth largest donations made in a single year to a single organization via Donors Capital or Donors Trust.  

Although marked for general operations, we know from FJC's own material that these donations supported the One Happy Camper program, which subsidizes children attending Jewish camp for the first time and was made possible by these donations.  This was an uncontroversially awesome thing for Barre Seid to support.

These donations were attributed to Seid by Richard Silverstein because they:
- were very large donations
- via Donors Capital
- to a Jewish organization
- that had previously received Seid Foundation grants

Additional corroborating evidence includes that:
- the FJC identified its anonymous donor at the time as a "highly successful" "Chicago businessman"
- the One Happy Camper program was overseen by the late Chicago rabbi Dennis Katz, whose synagogue had received extensive funding from the Seid Foundation
- Seid's 2010 honorary doctorate from Bar-Ilan University was awarded partly on the basis of his "instrumental role" in setting up the One Happy Camper program, yet FJC has never publicly credited Seid with any such role

Bar-Ilan University

In 2010, Bar-Ilan University received $5.25 million via Donors Capital:

This was the fifth largest donation ever made to a single organization in a single year via Donors Capital.  As seen above, all four larger donations are unambiguously attributable to Barre Seid.  

The only other grant BIU has ever received via Donors Capital was the previous year's $250,000 from the same donor.

This donation is almost certainly from Barre Seid because it:
- is an extremely large donation via Donors Capital
- occurred in the same year that Barre Seid was awarded an honorary doctorate by Bar-Ilan University, and the year before his wife was awarded one
- is highly consistent with known interests of Barre Seid, in this case higher education and support for the state of Israel

The 2004 spike

In 2003, the only Illinois charity to receive any grants via Donors Capital was Northwestern University.  In 2004, there is a sudden surge of donations to Illinois charities, chiefly in Chicago and the northern suburbs.  None of these charities received a donation from the Seid Foundation in the same year, and almost none of them received a donation via Donors Capital in any other year.  In several cases the amount of the 2004 Donors Capital donation is identical (or very close) to the amount received from the Seid Foundation in 2003 and 2005.

These donations are almost certainly from Barre Seid because they:
- occur at exactly the time that these organizations disappear from the Seid Foundation records, only to reappear a year later
- are focused heavily in Chicago and the northern suburbs, consistent with previous Seid Foundation giving
- are consistent with an initial period of experimentation before the Seids decided on the best way to use the philanthropic vehicles available to them

Notably, some of these donations are to organizations that have never been supported by the Seid Foundation -- chiefly very local Winnetka/Northfield organizations, but including some Chicago organizations.  None of those organizations received Donors Capital grants in any other year either.  A likely explanation would be that, after experimenting briefly with Donors Capital for these small noncontroversial donations, in other years the Seids have supported these local causes via direct checkbook giving, leaving no traces in the public record.

Illinois Taxpayer Education Foundation

The tiny Illinois Taxpayer Education Foundation (ITEF) began to receive regular donations via Donors Capital, on what appears to have been a monthly basis, in either 2006 or 2007 (we have no grantee schedules for 2006).  The 2008 990 for Donors Capital, the first to show itemized grants, shows 11 payments of $7,000 each to ITEF.  

The total of $77k means that this one Illinois-focused donor contributed around 71% of ITEF's total donation income of $108k (PDF).  In the previous year, 2007, this donor provided $92,000 in donations, or around 86% of ITEF's total reported donation income.  (This is not noted on ITEF's tax filings, which seems problematic.)

Before its anonymous Donors Capital benefactor came along, this organization was getting more than 50% of its support from the Seid Foundation: in both 2004 and 2005, the Seid Foundation provided a total of $40k to ITEF, accounting for 58% of its support in the first year and 60% in the next, based again on the annual numbers reported in  ITEF's 2008 990 (PDF). ITEF didn't receive any funds from the Seid Foundation after a last dribble of $10k in 2006, although it had received continuous regular (but small) donations since 1998.  

Grants to ITEF from Seid Foundation & Donors Capital.
See notes.

These donations are almost certainly from Barre Seid because they:
- start as soon as Seid Foundation grants stop or trail off
- are of very similar magnitude to Seid Foundation grants
- account for a very large portion of the organizational budget, matching Seid's style of "angel" investment
- are to an obscure Illinois organization that had never received a donation via Donors Capital before Seid's political giving changed channels

The donor additionally shares with Heartland's Anonymous Donor:
- a strong interest in local government "reform" in Illinois

Shimer College

This is one set of donations that helps to lay bare the nature of the attempted takeover of Shimer College, although it did not become public record until the attempt had been successfully thwarted:

The $10,000 figure is not coincidental; there was a "give or get" requirement that each Shimer trustee bring in at least $10k per year in donations.  The Seid proxies who were not independently wealthy, instead of doing any actual fundraising on behalf of the school, each "fundraised" a $10,000 check from Seid via Donors Capital.
These donations are almost certainly from Barre Seid because they:
- were an integral part of a scheme in which Seid's role has been established
- were to an obscure Chicago-based organization that
 -- had previously received Seid Foundation largesse, and
 -- had never previously received a donation via Donors Capital

Other donations via Donors Capital that bear very strong hallmarks of Barre Seid

These are donations that could be due to someone other than Barre Seid and his evil twin, but for which Barre Seid appears to be the most likely source.

Palmer R. Chitester Fund
(about)

The Palmer R. Chitester Fund of Erie, PA, which later became the "Free To Choose Network", has received regular hefty donations via Donors Capital.  The Chitester Fund and its successor are/were both operated by Bob Chitester, who like Joe Bast was a member of Seid's crew in the unsuccessful Shimer College takeover attempt.  

The Chitester Fund is not a small organization, but neither is it the sort of large national outfit that might routinely attract six-figure donations out of the blue: it had $2.7 million in donation income in the 2008-2009 fiscal year (PDF).  The budget was a great deal smaller before the big donations started rolling in circa 2004 (the Seid Foundation's prominent among them).  The Chitester Fund was receiving six-figure sums from the Seid Foundation up to May 2005, and subsequently received very similarly-sized sums via Donors Capital, starting with $400k in 2005 (exact date unknown).  

Grants to Chitester Fund/Free to Choose from Seid Foundation & Donors Capital.
See notes.

These donations are likely to be from Barre Seid because they:
- are unusually large donations via Donors Capital
- are to an organization whose head participated in the attempted Shimer College takeover
- are to a relatively small and obscure "libertarian" organization in the Midwest (generously construed)
- are in many small installments, characteristic of Seid's hands-on investment style

The donor of this donation further resembles Heartland's Anonymous Donor in that he/she:
- is prepared to commit major sums to promote climate change denialism, which is the subject of several "Free to Choose" DVDs and has been specifically targeted for support in several large grants via Donors Capital

Sam Adams Alliance
(about)

The Sam Adams Alliance is a small "libertarian" think thank based in Chicago.   Because it was not founded until 2006, the SAA never received any direct donations from the Seid Foundation. Beginning in 2008, the Sam Adams Alliance began to receive very large donations via Donors Capital; it had not received any donations via this channel before this year.

If we set aside the record-setting donation to Heartland in the same year, the 2008 donation of $3.6 million in 19 individual grants would be the largest donation via Donors Capital to a single organization in a single year for which Barre Seid was not definitely responsible.

These donations to the Sam Adams Alliance are likely to be from Barre Seid because they:
- are unusually large donations via Donors Capital
- are to an organization whose head (Eric O'Keefe) participated in the attempted Shimer College takeover
- are to an organization whose head had also headed organizations that have received Seid Foundation largesse, including US Term Limits (Foundation) and LEAD Foundation
- are to a relatively obscure organization based in Chicago
- reflect Seid's hands-on investment style

This donor further resembles Heartland's Anonymous Donor in that he/she:
- is prepared to commit major sums to promote local government "reform", particularly in Illinois
- often makes a huge number of individual, focused grants in a single year
- shows a dramatic spike in giving in 2008
- shows a dramatic drop in the number and amount of donations in 2010 (from 18 donations totaling $3.2 million in 2009 to 4 donations totaling $300k in 2010)

Americans for Limited Government Research Foundation
(about)

The Americans for Limited Government Research Foundation (ALGRF) is the 501c3 charitable arm of Americans for Limited Government, one of several projects of Howard Rich.  It received a $750,000 donation from the Seid Foundation in 2005, the first and last from that source or any other in the MediaMatters database.  In the same year, it received its first donation via Donors Capital, in the amount of 3.15 million.  Every subsequent year for which records are available showed donations in the six or seven figures via Donors Capital.  These donations frequently account for more than 50% of the organization's budget; for example, the 2009 donation of $2.25 million accounted for almost 90% of the organizations $2.55 million in donation income that year (PDF).  The parent organization is also known to have a very narrow donor base.

Grants to ALGRF from Seid Foundation & Donors Capital.
See notes.

These donations are likely to be from Barre Seid because they:
- are unusually large donations via Donors Capital
- are to an organization that previously received Seid Foundation largesse
- switch to Donors Capital at the same time as Seid's other political giving
- are to a relatively donor-poor organization originally based in the Chicago area (now in Virginia)

The donor additionally resembles the Anonymous Donor in that he/she:
- is willing to make large donations to combat healthcare reform ($750k of the 2009 donation was designated for this purpose)

LEAD Foundation

The Legislative Education Action Drive Foundation is the 501c3 charitable arm of the Legislative Education Action Drive (a 501c4), one of several projects of Howard Rich.  Like its parent organization, it works to promote school privatization in different states.  

The LEAD Foundation received $500,000 from the Seid Foundation in September 2004, the only donation it ever received from the Seid Foundation and one of only two donations from any foundation in the MediaMatters database.  In the following year, 2005, it received $900,000 via Donors Capital.  This is the only donation it ever received via Donors Capital in any year (with the possible exception of 2006, for which no data is available).

Grants to LEADF from Seid Foundation & Donors Capital.
See notes.

This $900k donation is likely to be from Barre Seid because it:
- switches from the Seid Foundation to Donors Capital at precisely the time (2005) that Seid was shifting most of his political giving from the former to the latter
- is to a relatively obscure organization then based in the Chicago area, which had never received a donation of any size via Donors Capital before Seid's donations changed channels
- is for a very large amount relative to the organizational budget

This donor further resembles the Anonymous Donor in that he/she:
- is prepared to commit major sums to promote school privatization

Parents in Charge Foundation
(about)

The Parents in Charge Foundation is the 501c3 charitable arm of Parents in Charge, a 501c4, one of several projects of Howard Rich.  Like LEAD, but considerably larger (with $8 million in donation income in 2005), it was based in Chicago until moving to Virginia in 2006.  The Parents in Charge Foundation received $400,000 from the Seid Foundation in 2005, the only donation it received via that channel.  It received $400,000 via Donors Capital in 2007, $250,000 in 2008, and nothing thereafter (how much it may have received in 2006 is unknowable).

Grants to PICF from Seid Foundation & Donors Capital.
See notes.

These two six-figure donations via Donors Capital are likely to be from Barre Seid because they:
- switch from the Seid Foundation to Donors Capital at precisely the time (2005) that Seid was shifting most of his political giving from the former to the latter
- are of the same magnitude as the previous Seid Foundation donation, which was four times larger than any other in the MediaMatters database
- are to an organization then based in the Chicago area (it moved to Virginia in 2006)
- are to an organization that had never received a donation via Donors Capital before Seid's donations changed channels

This donor further resembles the Anonymous Donor in that he/she:
- is prepared to commit major sums to promote school privatization

Greater Educational Opportunities Foundation
(about)

The Greater Educational Opportunities Foundation of Indianapolis is a charitable organization that promotes school privatization.  It received five-figure grants from the Seid Foundation in 2003 and 2007, and a smaller grant in 2004.  In 2008, it received its only donation via Donors Capital, for the amount of $1 million.

Grants to GEOF from Seid Foundation & Donors Capital.
See notes.

This $1 million donation is likely to be from Barre Seid because it:
- is an unusually large donation via Donors Capital
- is to a relatively obscure Midwestern organization that previously received grants from the Seid Foundation
- is for a very large amount relative to the organization's budget (68% of 2008 donation income (PDF))

This donor further resembles the Anonymous Donor in that he/she:
- is prepared to commit major sums to promote school privatization
- shows a dramatic spike in giving in 2008

(An additional similarity to Heartland is that GEOF was the only other political charity to receive a small five-figure donation from the Seid Foundation in 2007, when Seid's political giving had almost entirely been transitioned to other channels.)

Notes on the charts
1. Since my arguments relate to orders of magnitude rather than specific amounts, I've opted for a log-10 scale.  Salt to taste.  You can check the exact numbers in the table.

2. The absence of a bar for Donors Capital in 2006 does not mean that no grant was made from Donors Capital that year. The Donors Capital Fund 990 for 2006 is missing its grantee schedule, so there is no way to know how much was or wasn't given to any organization.
