House GOP Members Demand Details of $350 Million in Grants From Nonprofit in 2020 Election

Rep. Claudia Tenney and 13 Republican House representatives asked a nonprofit foundation that is partly funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife to publish details of how it spent $350 million in grants during the 2020 general election.

"During the 2020 election cycle, the Center for Tech and Civic Life distributed over $350 million to nearly 2,500 election officials in 48 states and the District of Columbia," Tenney and other House members said in a letter dated June 21.

Last year, Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, donated $350 million to CTCL, a nonprofit organization focused on "Helping to modernize U.S. elections." Other grants CTCL received were in much smaller amounts.

WILL found that over 200 communities in Wisconsin received grants from $2,212 to $3.4 million, while the five largest cities received 86 percent of CTCL's $10.3 million grant funds.

"Given the serious questions and inconsistencies surrounding CTCL grants, it is especially vital that your organization promptly release its full financial data so the public can properly assess the influence of this $350 million during the 2020 election," Tenney concluded in the letter.

The spokesperson also provided a list of counties that received grants from CTCL, saying the list shows more counties nationwide that received grants voted for Trump than Biden.

The spokesperson didn't dispute that Democratic areas received more grants from CTCL..
