Kettering Foundation, PACE, and the Connected Funding Network

🚨 Kettering Foundation & the "Dark Money" Squad: Zero Direct Ties, But... 😏

🔍 Bottom line?
No DIRECT ties from Kettering to Tides Network.
No Arabella contracts.
No shared board seats.
Nada.

But they all party in the same PACE (Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement) club — that fancy funders' network pushing "democracy" reforms.

Kettering's guy Brad Rourke even sits on the board. Arabella Advisors? Card-carrying member.

Tides? They've co-signed briefings and statements with the crew.

Translation: Same swamp, different lilies.

Comey's favorite "nonpartisan" think tank rubs elbows with the big progressive money machines at conferences and joint letters.

Shocking, I know. 🙄

Democracy theater at its finest — all for "civic engagement," of course.
