Does the CIA Fund Both the Right and the Left?
”Attorney General Robert Kennedy was the first, in 1967, to investigate the use of the
Ford Foundation and other foundations as “conduits,” “pass-throughs,” and “fronts” to

Church Committee found that between 1963 and1966, 164 foundations gave out 700
grants over $10,000. Of these, 108 involved partial or complete funding by the CIA
