Correction: What’s the Connection Between VA DEMS and the Dark Money Network?

Townhall Media

UPDATE: November 10, 2023. In response to the article dated October 16, 2023, Salem Media Group, Inc. was contacted by a representative of New Venture Fund (“NVF”) and Sixteen Thirty Fund ( “STF”) who states: “‘both NVF and STF unequivocally condemn Hamas, all terrorist acts, and all terrorist organizations. NVF and STF have never funded Samidoun or Hamas directly or indirectly. Any prior funding from NVF that went to the Alliance for Global Justice (“AFGJ”) was earmarked for environmental projects and was expressly prohibited from being used for any other purpose.’

Last week, Politico reported that a group called The States Project is spending over $4.5 million to support Democrat candidates in next month’s Virginia legislative races. 

As it turns out, NVF and the STF are both managed by the same liberal dark money group: Arabella Advisors.

The States Project used to be called the “Future Now Fund.” In 2021, Future Now Fund supported legislation that would “provide evidence-based ways to generate savings and increase public safety by reallocating [police] funds toward proven methods to support communities.”

That policy is otherwise known as “Defund the Police.” As CBS News reported, "defund the police" means reallocating money from policing to other agencies funded by local municipalities. 

The States Project is funded by the STF, a group which Robert Maguire, research director for the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), described as “one of the largest fundraising machines I have ever come across.” 

Notably, the STF operates alongside its partner organization, the NVF. 

In 2021, AFGJ Received $38,000 from NVF and $225,000 from the Windward Fund, also manage by Arabella Advisors, earmarked for environmental projects.  

AFGJ sponsors several groups behind the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel, including Samidoun, the Israeli-designated terrorist group that organized pro-Hamas rallies last week.

Both funds, the STF and the NVF, are managed by liberal dark money group Arabella Advisors. 

Recently, both groups were subpoenaed by the Washington, D.C. Attorney General seeking information related to reporting that both entities ran roughshod over charity tax laws.

In 2021, the New York Times published a report on Arabella Advisors, saying the organization “has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars through a daisy chain of groups supporting Democrats and progressive causes. The system of political financing, which often obscures the identities of donors, is known as dark money, and Arabella’s network is a leading vehicle for it on the left.”
