Sen. Josh Hawley questioned investigative researcher Seamus Bruner about nonprofit funding tied to protest activity in Minnesota, focusing on the scope of organizations involved and the source of their financial backing.
During the exchange, Hawley asked Bruner to outline what his organization had uncovered regarding groups active on the ground.
“Your organization specializes in following nonprofit funding and organizational networks. So based on your research, what organizations have been active on the ground in Minnesota? What can you tell us?” Hawley asked.

Bruner responded by citing data compiled from recent nonprofit disclosures.
“Yes, we have tracked over $60 million according to the latest 990 disclosures to approximately 14 groups, some of them national, others on the ground, groups like the ACLU provide the legal defense as well as facilitate the trainings for some of the tactics that Senator current, current just described, group named democracy forward take action. Minnesota has gotten over $10 million from these large NGO networks, including the Neville Roy Singham network, indivisible National Lawyers Guild, CT UL, the Council on American Islamic Relations, Minnesota Care, Minnesota 350, voices for racial justice, on and on. Like I said, over $60 million just according to the latest 990, disclosures.”
Hawley followed up by emphasizing the scale of the funding and the number of groups involved.
“$60,000,000. 14 at least 14 different groups. That sounds like a pretty broad ecosystem here. Where’s this money coming from? How is it flowing to these groups? Do you have any sense?” Hawley asked.

Bruner said his organization maintains a database compiling grant information across several funding networks.
“So we’ve built a database that contains hundreds of 1000s of rows from grants from networks like the Soros network, the Arabella funding network, as mentioned, the Neville Roy Singham funding network, many others tides, the Ford Foundation network, the Rockefeller funding network, these massive NGOs that have billions of dollars to spend on all kinds of coordinated protest or in this case, riot activity.”
WATCH:
Bruner indicated that the funding streams involve national networks channeling money through nonprofit entities, which he described as part of a broader ecosystem supporting coordinated activity. Hawley’s questioning centered on tracing the financial pathways and identifying the infrastructure behind the organizations active in Minnesota.
