RED FLAG: WRI received U.S.
government grants in 2001: $2,301,222 - see audit table below for
detailed grant information
WRI is funded by foundations, industry, U.S. and foreign
governments, international agencies and individuals
Exempt since: July 1982
The World Resources
Institute Fund, with current assets of $1,252,003 and no paid
officers or staff, was established in 1986 as a financial backup by
WRI directors.
Profile: An
artifact of the
John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation with substantial
startup support by the
Rockefeller Brothers Fund. WRI attempts to impose its will on
many nations in a web of unrealistic obligations which would
compromise their independence, productivity and dignity. WRI
strategies typically ignore the cost of environmentalism and the
value of private property and individual liberty. WRI's Board of
Directors includes numerous "Vice Presidents for Development," each
of whom is an executive of an environmental group; "development" is
the non-profit word for "fund-raising."
RED FLAG: WRI's president, Jonathan Lash, has
a substantial conflict by being an official of WRI and the
Wallace Global Fund,
a position that can influence the flow of cash from Wallace Global
Fund to WRI.
The World Resources Institute is profiled in Ron Arnold and
Alan Gottlieb's book,
Trashing the Economy: How Runaway Environmentalism is Wrecking
America.

Grants: The
Foundation Center database contains records of
345 grants to
World Resources Institute. WRI has received several truly huge
grants: In the 1980s, the MacArthur Foundation gave WRI a $10
million grant and a $15 million grant; Andrew K. Mellon Foundation
gave a grant of $800,000.
RED FLAG: WRI President
Jonathan Lash is a director of the wealthy foundation, the Wallace
Global Fund (WGF). During Lash's presidency of WRI, from the years
1997-1999, Wallace Global Fund has given 13 grants to WRI worth
$1,314,486. Lash's position in both WRI and WGF raises questions of
self dealing and undue influence.
