The David Horowitz Freedom Center was founded in 1988 as the Center for the Study of Popular Culture. The Center adopted its current name in 2006.[1]

Funders

Between 2001 and 2010, the Institute received $3.725 million from the Bradley Foundation[3]

Funding counterjihad activists

The Politico website reported in September 2010 that the Center was responsible for funding Robert Spencer's Jihad Watch website:

Though it was not listed on the public tax reports filed by Horowitz’s Freedom Center, POLITICO has confirmed that the lion’s share of the $920,000 it provided over the past three years to Jihad Watch came from [Joyce] Chernick, whose husband, Aubrey Chernick, has a net worth of $750 million, as a result of his 2004 sale to IBM of a software company he created, and a security consulting firm he now owns.[4]
