Philanthropy group ripped for bankrolling 'radical' defund the police, anti-ICE groups: 'Less safe'
Every delay has consequences.
A philanthropic organization known as Coefficient Giving, which is mainly funded by liberal billionaire Dustin Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna, is being knocked for quietly funding a slate of "radical projects" and donating millions to defund the police groups, anti-ICE initiatives and other progressive causes over the course of several years.
Before changing its name from Open Philanthropy to Coefficient Giving and divesting from its "criminal justice reform" initiatives to a split-off group called "Just Impact," Open Philanthropy awarded hundreds of grants to primarily far-left groups in that category over six years.

"These aims are the opposite of social welfare," said Schube. "They make society less safe and harm the very communities they claim to be concerned about."
The group that Open Philanthropy awarded the highest amount of money to was the Alliance for Safety and Justice, a progressive organization that advocates for replacing incarceration with community-led safety strategies and trauma recovery services. The group received a total of $11,750,000.00 from Open Philanthropy through just three donations between 2016 and 2018.
Open Philanthropy gave $4,440,000.00 to JustLeadershipUSA, whose president, DeAnna Hoskins, previously emphasized the need to defund the police, framing it as a "divestment from law and order to an investment …
