In 2013 IPI funding was investigated by the nonprofit investigative journalism organization Center for Public Integrity,[1] and separately by a collaboration of the nonprofit liberal watchdog group Center for Media and Democracy[2] and the nonprofit progressive advocacy organization ProgressNow[3], and reported on by Capital Fax,[4] the Springfield, Illinois-based news service focused on Illinois government edited by Rich Miller,[5][6] and by Progress Illinois,[7] an online analysis and advocacy group established in 2008.[8] IPI funders identified in these reports include the Alexandria, Virginia-based donor advised funds DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund;[9] the Arlington, Virginia-based State Policy Network,[10] a national organization of conservative and libertarian think tanks focused on state-level policy, and the Roe Foundation,[11] established by State Policy Network founder, South Carolina businessman and conservative philanthropist Thomas A. Roe; the Milwaukee-based conservative Bradley Foundation;[12] the Cato Institute,[13] the Washington, DC libertarian think tank founded by businessman and philanthropist Charles Koch; and the Colorado-based Castle Rock Foundation,[14] founded with an endowment from the Adolph Coors Foundation.
