The groups that contributed to the near $2 billion in foreign money include the Quadrature Climate Foundation (U.K.), the KR Foundation (Denmark), the Oak Foundation (Switzerland), the Laudes Foundation (Switzerland/Netherlands), and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (U.K.).
The most sizable, the Quadrature Climate Foundation, has awarded roughly $520 million to 41 U.S. groups since 2020, according to the report.
"The most surprising place that the foreign money has ended up is into a group called the Environmental Law Institute [ELI]," Sutherland explained to Fox News Digital. "They are well known for running a group called the Climate Judiciary Project. They work to educate judges on climate litigation."

"So the fact that a group that is so-called educating judges on climate is the beneficiary of foreign money is a huge problem," Sutherland added.

In August of this year, 23 state attorneys general sent a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin that called for the halting of federal funding.
Zeldin and President Donald Trump's EPA subsequently axed funding to ELI.
Fox News Digital reached out to ELI for comment, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
"We were also able to trace that $1.6 million in foreign money has come from the Oak Foundation into a group called Community Change," Sutherland continued. "They are the front group that has led the charge against Trump's crackdown on crime. So again, we're seeing where foreign money coming in to protest, litigation, training is ending up."

According to the report, $1.6 million from the Oak Foundation has been funneled into Community Change, the organization recognized as the "fiscal sponsor" behind Free DC, which was responsible for the anti-Trump protests in Washington D.C.

Fox News Digital sent inquiries to the various foreign charities about the potential reasoning behind funneling money into American organizations that lobby and campaign for specific policy issues, but did not receive responses.
Sutherland surmised that, based on the report, implementing an extreme European agenda into the U.S. is the most likely driving factor for the multi-billion dollar grants and donations.

"It seems clear to me that this foreign money is coming into the United States because they want to implement their extremist European vision for America," Sutherland concluded. "A lot of these groups want to ban gas stoves, very, very extremist positions. And it seems to me that when you take a look at the money, they just want to have a more extreme United States that is radicalized and further left than what we want."
Fox News Digital reached out to the Quadrature Climate Foundation, the KR Foundation, the Oak Foundation, the Laudes Foundation, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, and Community Change, but did not receive responses by the time of publication.
