Self-Description:
Mission:
To
promote the common good
and welfare of the general public
by educating the public and by supporting public
efforts at reform of economic and social conditions.
Program:
Proposed,
explored, and promoted
new economic ideas to address pressing economic and social problems.
 Actual:
Labor-dominated lobbying and electoral network
heavily influenced by progressive plutocrats and secret donors
working on anti-corporate, anti-military, welfare-state, and other
"progressive" programs.
Incubator for the Apollo Project. Documentation in Ron Arnold's "Freezing in the Dark."
Brief history: Although the
Campaign for America's Future
was registered by founder Robert Borosage in 1990, it did not
receive its IRS exempt status until 1994 and did not formally launch
until 1996.
The organization was solely Borosage's creation, even though Roger
Hickey, formerly of the labor union think tank, the Economic Policy
Institute, is credited as a co-founder.
Helped incubate the
Apollo
Alliance, now a project of Tides Center. Apollo's
executive director, James Ringo, is paid by
Institute for America's
Future.

The 1996 launch of
Campaign for America's Future was a spectacular show of
left-wing depth and reach, touting 130 co-founders, each a
notable in some sector of the American Left. The complete list of
co-founders is posted on a special page:

An early (2004) diagram of
donations to
Campaign for America's Future shows:
Of these
eighteen donors
-
eight
are labor unions;
-
one is a
unionized insurance company catering to union members.
-
four
(Soros, Getty, and the Foos and Rapoport couples) are populist
plutocrats;
-
three
are Rockefeller institutions (the Philanthropic Collaborative is
a project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors; actual donors
are anonymous);
-
one, the
biggest contributor, is a political action committee.
-
one, the
second-largest donor, is a foundation specializing in anonymous
donor advised funds; actual donors are invisible.
So we’re
really looking at a labor-dominated lobbying and electoral network
heavily influenced by progressive plutocrats and secret donors.
In
effect, the
Campaign for America's Future is
an adversary Democratic Party network several notches to the
left of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council.
