Money, Power and The Radical Right in
Pennsylvania, continued
(return to contents)V. Funding the Radical Right
The following is a compilation of
Pennsylvania foundations that have provided funding to
many organizations profiled in this monograph. Although
we have included information about only a few years, many
foundations provide support to these organizations on an
on-going basis.
Information including addresses and phone
numbers, assets and types of activities funded was found
in the 1990 and 1995 editions of the Directory of
Pennsylvania Foundations, S. Damon Kletzien, editor,
published by Triadvocates Press, Springfield,
Pennsylvania, and from the 1993 Update and Supplement
to that publication. Additional data was garnered from
the foundations' annual reports and Internal Revenue
Service Form 990-PF, which foundations are required by
law to file annually. The Directory of Pennsylvania
Foundations also used Form 990-PF, as well as
extensive communications with virtually all profiled
foundations, to acquire and verify the information
provided in the directory.
The fiscal year in which the gift was made
is indicated to the right of the gift amount, followed by
the source of our information, indicated by the following
symbols:

The (Arthur S.) DeMoss Foundation
According to the Directory of
Pennsylvania Foundations, the DeMoss Foundation
limits grants to "Christian, evangelical
programs/projects that are evangelistic and discipling in
nature, and are awarded, primarily internationally, and
nationally."
In 1986, Ted DeMoss was one of the original
signers of A Manifesto for the Christian Church,
initiated by the Coalition on Revival. The Coalition on
Revival was founded in 1984 by Jay Grimstead as a network
of evangelical and charismatic religious leaders. Signers
of the Manifesto pledge "to bring society's judicial
and legal systems into as close an approximation to the
laws and commandments of the Bible as citizens will
allow." Others who signed the manifesto include R.J.
Rushdoony, Colonel Doner, Tim LaHaye, Robert Simmonds and
Donald Wildmon.204

SCAIFE FOUNDATIONS
Richard M. (Mellon) Scaife is a
multi-millionaire listed in Who's Wealthy in America
(a directory of the 50,000 wealthiest Americans) and
publisher of the Greensburg Tribune-Review.205
Though he disputes it, Scaife's estimated worth is $800
million. The three foundations he controls, The Sarah
Mellon Scaife, Carthage and Allegheny, give approximately
$400,000 per week - predominately to radical right
organizations.206
Scaife provides ongoing support to several powerful
individuals and organizations: Newt Gingrich, Heritage
Foundation, former Secretary of Education William
"Bill" Bennett, Free Congress Foundation, and
Landmark Legal Foundation.
According to Newt Gingrich, "Dick
Scaife is a remarkable citizen," who "has spent
many years as a key force in sustaining conservative
ideas." Gingrich even credits Scaife with being one
of the people who "really created modern
conservatism." According to Thomas Ferguson,
political-science professor at the University of
Massachusetts and an expert on political and ideological
financing, "He's [Scaife] had as much to do with the
Gingrich revolution as Gingrich himself."207
Scaife Foundation board member Edwin J. Feulner, Jr. has
been appointed by Sen. Bob Dole and Rep. Newt Gingrich as
Vice-chair of the National Commission on Economic Growth
and Tax Reform.208
