Mark Zuckerberg’s foundation hid past grants to leftist causes after his funding of lawfare groups opposing President Donald Trump surfaced.

Zuckerberg gave nearly $2 billion to the leftist Silicon Valley Community Foundation , which bankrolls the anti-Trump legal group Protect Democracy .

The New York Times ran a hit piece trying to debunk Winters , citing Zuckerberg 's spokesman, who said neither Zuckerberg nor his wife nor their joint philanthropic organization, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative , had ever made a donation to Protect Democracy . Never mind that Zuckerberg donated $1.75 billion in Facebook stocks to SVCF in 2010 , and another $200 million in 2018 .

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has funneled nearly $24 million to the education arm of FWD.us (also known as Forward US ) since 2015 .

Zuckerberg founded the pro-leftist group in 2013 .

Other “founders and funders” include Microsoft founder Bill Gates and LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman .

The group has given millions of dollars to leftist causes, according to IRS tax documents.
