Biden Regime and John Podesta Gave BILLIONS to Environmental Charity Led by Democrats
Was Founded Only 5 Months Earlier and Received $7 Billion
More lawlessness by thee Biden Regime exposed–
Former Vice President Kamala Harris handed over a taxpayer-funded government check for $7 billion to Climate United Fund in April 2024.
Climate United Fund, a non-profit organization, had only been incorporated in Delaware since November 30, 2023, just five months earlier.
The Biden regime handed over $7 billion to the newly formed non-profit Climate United Fund in April 2024, just five months after it was formed.
According to The New York Post, the Climate United Fund does not appear in the IRS’s charities database, and has no federal filings.
The New York Post reported:
The Biden administration funneled at least $20 billion dollars into environmental groups, most of which had only recently been founded, The Post has discovered.
The Post added that the Climate United Fund then announced “the historic investment” in a press release, noting the group’s work “delivers benefits like cleaner air…and increased energy security.”’
The $7 billion award was given to Climate United Fund by John Podesta and the EPA.

The Climate United Fund was formed in 2024 when investment firm Calvert Impact Capital decided to partner with Community Preservation Corporation and Self-Help to create Climate United. 5

The Trump administration paused funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.
Of course, liberal outlets like Politico and The New York Times thought this was horrible and ran cover for these shady groups!
Judge Glock, the Director of Research and Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, noted on X that the Climate United Fund received $7 billion — the biggest nonprofit grant in history — after submitting a 49 page report. That was all it took.
It's amazing to me that @Politico attacks the pause on Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants by citing the "detailed work plans" submitted by the nonprofit winners. The Climate United Fund received $7 billion, the biggest nonprofit grant in history, in exchange for a 49-page plan. pic.twitter.com/ooLqN9PQsF

Judge Glock goes on to explain that the five month old nonprofit was awarded $7 billion after submitting a 49-page plan.
For those curious, here is the database. At least since 2008, the first, second, third and fourth largest grants to nonprofits all happened shortly before the last election to GGRF nonprofits. (There could be some earlier huge nonprofit grant, but I haven't seen it.) pic.twitter.com/UskHKEXCAk
