Presently the school's first President [Grants to Messmer High School.] Messmer is the city's only predominantly Black Catholic High School. The school is heavily funded by Bradley and is often used as the site of press conferences promoting school vouchers. Although all other Catholic high schools in the area are predominantly white, using Messmer as the background for a photo op leaves the mistaken impression that expanding vouchers would primarily benefit Black students. Brother Smith was the first African American on the foundation's board since its founding in 1942. His appointment was announced weeks after the 1997 publication of the report The Feeding Trough, which exposed Bradley's roles in attempts to overturn affirmative action and in the development of Wisconsin's welfare reform program, W-2.

The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation Credit: The Bradley Foundation

The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation is a grant-making foundation that has been called the US's 'largest and most influential right-wing organization'.

History

According to the Media Transparency website:

With over $700 million in assets1 (down to $489 million in 2002), the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is the country's largest and most influential right-wing foundation. As of the end of 1998, it was giving away more than $30 million a year [The Bradley Foundation 1998 Annual Report].
Its financial resources, its clear political agenda, and its extensive national network of contacts and collaborators in political, academic and media circles has allowed it to exert an important influence on key issues of public policy. While its targets range from affirmative action to social security, it has seen its greatest successes in the areas of welfare "reform" and attempts to privatize public education through the promotion of school vouchers.[1]
Bradley supports the organizations and individuals that promote the deregulation of business, the rollback of virtually all social welfare programs, and the privitization of government services. As a result, the list of Bradley grant recipients reads like a Who's Who of the U.S.Right. Bradley money supports such major right-wing groups as the Heritage Foundation, source of policy papers on budget cuts, supply-side economics and the Star Wars military plan for the Reagan administration; the Madison Center for Educational Affairs, which provides funding for right-wing research and a network of conservative student newspapers; and the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, literary home for such racist authors as Charles Murray (The Bell Curve) and Dinesh D'Souza (The End of Racism), former conservative officeholders Jeane Kirkpatrick, Jack Kemp and William Bennett, and arch-conservative jurists Robert Bork and Antonin Scalia.
Other Bradley grantees include the Free Congress Research and Education Foundation; the Hoover Institute on War, Revolution, and Peace; and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. There are the major conservative publications, such as The Public Interest, The National Interest,and The American Spectator. And there are organizations set up to play specific roles in promoting the right-wing agenda, such as the Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm that promotes privatization and deregulation, and the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, a vehicle for building support for privatization in low-income communities.[2]

According to Rightweb, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation aided the rise to national prominence of former presidential candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

Funding decisions

Leo Strauss archives

The John M. Olin Center for Inquiry into the Theory and Practice of Democracy helped obtain funding from the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation for the microfilming of the Leo Strauss archives at the University of Chicago's Regenstein Library.[2]

Counterjihad network funding

The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation provided $100,000 for anti-terrorism expert Steve Emerson’s documentary film Jihad in America, has also funded a study by Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a think tank spun off by directors of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The foundation has also provided grants to the Foreign Policy Research Institute of Philadelphia, then headed by Daniel Pipes and an associate, Khaled Duran, who also was Emerson’s collaborator producing Jihad in America.[3]

In 2012 its top 25 beneficiaries included the David Horowitz Freedom Center, to which it gave US $265,000. [4]

The foundation reportedly broke off funding to the Center for Security Policy in 2013.[5]

In 2013, according to IRS filings, the foundation granted the David Horowitz Freedom Center US $8,213,000 for general support. [6]

Between the years 2000-2009, the foundation gave a total of $240,000 in donations to the Middle East Forum.[7]

Other counterjihad groups they funded in 2013 included:
