New Venture Fund, a hub of the Left’s dark money network, bankrolls both sides of climate lawfare: the lawyers who file lawsuits against energy companies and a nonprofit training judges to view such cases favorably. The fund, however, claims these projects are “unrelated.”
In its 2024 tax filing, New Venture Fund reported sending $2.3 million to Sher Edling, L.L.P., a law firm that represents Democratic prosecutors when they file climate litigation against tax filings. The fund also gave $1.25 million to the Environmental Law Institute, a nonprofit that trains judges how to approach their work to “make environmental, economic, and social progress.”
“New Venture Fund works with numerous projects and institutional funders to advance their missions on a variety of issues, including education, health care, and the environment,” a spokesperson for the nonprofit told The Daily Signal in a statement Friday. “Our grants to Sher Edling and the Environmental Law Institute were made on behalf of two separate fiscally sponsored projects. These grants are unrelated and have no connection to each other.”
