Cause Of Action Is "Funded By The Koch Network"

Los Angeles Times: Cause Of Action Is "Funded By The Koch Network." The Los Angeles Times reported that Cause of Action is "a small group of lawyers funded by the Koch network:"

Like most groups funded by the Koch network, the specific sources of Cause of Action's money are not disclosed. Tax records show that by 2013, its operations were mostly funded by $4.35 million from Donors Trust, a nonprofit group through which the Kochs and their allies distribute tens of millions of dollars without needing to disclose the sources of the funds.

Asked why the donors want to be anonymous, Epstein invoked a precept of the medieval Jewish philosopher Maimonides, who wrote that the highest form of charity is help given "without the expectation of public acknowledgment for one's good deeds."

"I suspect this sentiment motivates a lot of our donors," Epstein wrote. [Los Angeles Times, 2/7/15]
