In 2002, the
Center for the Defense of
Free Enterprise filed
a complaint with IRS against Environmental Working
Group [read
the complaint].
The Center called on
the IRS [read
the news release] to
revoke EWG's non-profit status for
alleged unlawful lobbying and political action,
prompting the creation of the EWG Action Fund, a 501(c)(4) lobbying
group, legally allowed to influence legislation.

Projects:
Self-description: EWG has three
programs: Toxics & Human Health, Sustainable Agriculture and Natural
Resources. Each program uses the power of information--including
government-funded data and independent lab results--to make the case
for stronger policies that protect the environment and human health.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), founded in 1993, fills a
niche in the environmental community by focusing its unique strategy on toxics,
agriculture and western lands issues. Our effective advocacy efforts are
bolstered by extensive web databases and a 500,000-person email list, which have
become major forces in online information distribution. EWG is a national
organization with headquarters in Washington, DC, and offices in Oakland, CA and
Ames, Iowa.
Actual: EWG, long an opponent of industrial
agriculture and advocate for organic farming, uses huge foundation grants to spread
anti-industry messages in an attempt to shape public opinion against corporations
and capitalism. In 1992, EWG formed the
Clearinghouse for Environmental Advocacy and Research (CLEAR) to smear and destroy the
wise use movement that supports the free market system.
Convoluted History:
Fictional beginning: Although Ken Cook told the New York Times that EWG was started in 1993, it began receiving foundation
grants in 1989. Because EWG was not yet incorporated, it received grants through the IRS tax exemption of the
Island Press, in
Washington, DC. The small environmental book publisher had been created in 1979 by Mellon
heiress Catherine Conover.
Hiding under the skirts: In 1984, Island Press reorganized as the
Center
for Resource Economics / Island Press, giving Ken Cook a job as "vice
president for policy" from 1989 to 1993. Cook got $5 million in grants
for EWG from 17
foundations.
Tides takes over: In 1993 EWG went under the umbrella of the
Tides Foundation. Tides founder
Drummond Pike became a permanent member of the Center for Resource Economics'
board of directors, as well as a permanent board member of EWG. Catherine
Conover remained a director of the Center for Resource Economics and one
of the largest donors to Pike's Tides organizations. EWG was shifted
to the newly-created
Tides Center during a 1990s reorganization.
EWG emerged from the Tides umbrella in 1999 and incorporated in Washington, DC,
but the Tides influence remains, with Drummond Pike ruling as its
Chairman.

Earlier
foundation grants to EWG reveal a long history of efforts to destroy
industrial agriculture in the United States.
Below are samples from 1989 to 1999, in reverse order.
Look below at Grant 3. The Joyce Foundation
gave the Environmental Working Group
$1,620,000 "For work on 2002 Farm Bill," which
predictably includes advocacy for less industrial food production by replacing it with conservation
and more "organic food" subsidies.
The
Joyce Foundation's 1999 Form 990 shows it owned investments of over $1.8 million in
Canadian Wheat Board securities. Are they trying to profit by hurting American
wheat farmers to benefit their investment in Canadian wheat using EWG as a catspaw?
The Joyce Foundation's 1999 Form 990 shows it owned investments of over $410,000
in General Nutrition Company, provider of vitamins, herbals, and vegetarian
guides. Are they trying to profit by hurting traditional agriculture to benefit
herbal growers using EWG as a catspaw?
There is no separation between Joyce Foundation executives handling charitable
and investment duties: four Joyce staffers spend part time investing the
foundation's money and part time deciding who gets the profits from those
investments. Joyce Foundation has the capability to target its donations to help
their investments - and harm companies they disapprove of.
Other foundations donating to Environmental Working Group have similar
situations.
