“In 1975, on Kristol’s recommendation, Richardson appointed Leslie Lenkowsky as chief program officer.[3] Lenkowsky oversaw the funding of a number of books on supply-side economics, notably the ‘trilogy’ of Jude Wanniski’s The Way the World Works, George Gilder’s Wealth and Poverty, and Michael Novak’s The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism.”

“To fund it, Weyrich and Viguerie, and dozens of others who learned from them, raised millions from the super-rich of the right: Mellon’s Scaife Foundations, Coors’ Castle Rock Foundations, the Bradley Foundation, the Smith Richardson Foundation and the Olin Foundation, just to name the top five with combined assets of nearly $2 billion. They helped to deploy the money to build dozens of think tanks and hundreds of policy groups and coalitions, such as the Heritage Foundation, the Free Congress Foundation, and the Rockford Institute, just to name a few.”
John J. Miller – The Very Foundation of Conservatism – The New York Times, 28/11/2005 – http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/28/opinion/28miller.html
«The Olin Foundation and other right-leaning philanthropies – particularly the Bradley, Scaife and Smith Richardson Foundations – provided a pool of venture capital that helped build a network of research institutions, academic fellowships and highbrow journals for the conservative movement. If it is something of a cliché these days to suggest that conservatives are winning the war of ideas, much of the credit belongs to these grant makers.»

«The Foundation became active in supporting conservative causes in 1973 when R. Richardson Randolph became its president. Forbes estimates the Richardsons to have a net worth of $870 million, which makes it one of the U.S.’s richest families. The Foundation gave approximately $99,686,911 to a total of 266 grantees.»
