Over two years, the Schwab Charitable donor-advised fund has given more than $250 million to the 85 Fund, a group tied to Leonard Leo, an activist who helped engineer the Supreme Court’s conservative majority. The 85 Fund, which received almost all of its revenue from the Schwab charity in 2022, in turn supports a plethora of conservative causes, including tighter voting laws and bans on teaching critical race theory. A Schwab Charitable spokesperson said, “Grants recommended by donors do not reflect the values or beliefs of Schwab Charitable, Schwab, or its management.” (Bloomberg)
