USAID Is Back in the News For All the Wrong Reasons

USAID Is Back in the News For All the Wrong Reasons

Shocking, I know.

It turns out that the Southern Poverty Law Center was funded by USAID. More specifically, USAID funded the "Vote Your Voice" program at the SPLC through the Tides Center (a left-wing NGO-funding organization).



And you just thought your USAID dollars were funding poor kids in Africa or something.

The NGO funding machine is getting harder to ignore.

USAID funneled $27 million through the Tides Center, with some of it going directly into the Southern Poverty Law Center.

For years, the liberal left inside the federal government hijacked nonprofits as pass-through vehicles; a legal loophole to launder taxpayer dollars into partisan left-wing networks like SPLC.

Tides operates as the perfect hub: it receives massive federal grants, buries the ultimate recipients behind multiple layers of 501(c)(3)s, and quietly re-grants the money to activist allies.

The American people didn’t authorize this. It needs to end now.

Incredible. USAID was funding the SPLC through an organization called the Tides Center, based in San Francisco.

From 2016 through 2024, USAID granted $27 million to the Tides Network to “strengthen global civil society organizations, promote transparency, accountability, citizen engagement, and serve as fiscal agent for USAID’s Civil Society Innovation Initiative.”

The Tides Center set up a fund through its Tides Foundation with that money for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Vote Your Voice” initiative.

The executive director of the Tides Center is Ayesha Khanna. She was co-chair of Women for Obama in Atlanta, Georgia.

People still need to wrap their heads around the fact that EVERYTHING the Democrats do is a scam or a power grab. I still know people who seriously believe that USAID was all about saving poor kids and stopping AIDS in Africa, rather than funding beltway consultants, NGOs, and funneling money to Democrats.
