==History==
 +
 
 +
NEFA was reportedly founded in 2004 by its President [[Michelle Hayes]] and its Operations Director [[David Draper]]. According to an article in the ''Charleston City Paper'', Hayes was approached by families of victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks in February 2004<ref>Greg Hambrick, [http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A40668 ‘Charleston’s Counter-Terrorism Unit’], ''Charleston City Paper'', 20 February 2008</ref>. According to [http://www.domaintools.com/ Domain Tools] the organisation’s website was created on 24 August that year.

 +
Although based in South Carolina, NEFA’s original address was in New York at 551 Fifth Avenue,
 +
Suite 3300,<ref>http://204.203.220.33/EINS/581099195/581099195_2004_01f97c6d.PDF Tax Returns 2004]</ref> which is the address of Harris Rand Lusk, a recruitment company specialising in providing executives for not-for-profit organisations. Harris Rand Lusk’s not-for-profit clients include the September 11th Fund and Wall Street Rising - a coalition of businesses, industries and residents aiming to “restore vibrancy and vitality to Lower Manhattan” after September 11th.<ref>[http://www.wallstreetrising.org/ Wall Street Rising Homepage] accessed 27 March 2008</ref> It therefore seems likely that that Harris Rand Lusk played a major part in establishing NEFA, most likely on behalf of the September 11th Fund. One possibility is that NEFA’s President Michelle Hayes is a former employee of Harris Rand Lusk. This is suggested by her profile on NEFA’s website which states that she “speaks…on the subjects of ''non-profit board recruitment'' and development”.<ref>NEFA foundation [http://www.nefafoundation.org/aboutus.html About us], accessed 29 February 2008.</ref>

In its 2004 accounts NEFA states that at that time [[Susan Molinari]] was Vice President and [[John Rafaelli]] was Secretary. They were then also CEO and employee respectively of the lobbying company [[Washington Group]] (a subsidiary [[Ketchum]] - of which Molinari was also President). In 2003 they had both lobbied on behalf of 9-11 Families United To Bankrupt Terrorism and [[Motley Rice]] (the law firm which has brought several punitive civil cases representing victims of the September 11th attacks).<ref>9-11 Families United To Bankrupt Terrorism, Washington Group, [http://soprweb.senate.gov/index.cfm?event=view Filing Year End Report 2003] (Page 1 of 3); Motley Rice LLC, Washington Group, [http://soprweb.senate.gov/index.cfm?event=getFilingDetails&filingID=06740033-8A67-460C-AD4D-F1264CC8ADF7 Mid-Year Report 2003] (Page 1 of 5); Motley Rice LLC, Washington Group, [http://soprweb.senate.gov/index.cfm?event=getFilingDetails&filingID=2F814D54-BCE7-46EF-849E-4A9769E6C843 Year End Termination Report 2003]</ref>. NEFA Director David Draper is also known to have done contract work for Motley Rice before NEFA was established and the two companies are based in the same US town.<ref>Greg Hambrick, [http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A40668 ‘Charleston’s Counter-Terrorism Unit’], ''Charleston City Paper'', 20 February 2008</ref>

In its 2005 accounts NEFA listed only two paid investigators. [[Douglas Farah]] was paid $94,031, and a company D2 LLC was paid $170,913. The website of the Veromi Business Index lists a D2 LLC as being co-owned by NEFA Director David Draper.<ref>http://www.veromi.com/BusinessDetailPg000003706.aspx (accessed 27 March 2008</ref> Since then several ‘experts’ have joined NEFA. In October 2007 [[Evan Kohlmann]] closed his website [[Globalterroralert.com]] and redirected traffic to NEFA<ref>[http://www.globalterroralert.com/ Globalterroralert.com Homepage], accessed 29 February 2008</ref>.

NEFA’s website collates information on terrorism, such as court documents, government reports and videos and internet postings by jihadist groups. It also publishes ‘Special Reports’ by its investigators on particular subjects. NEFA has focused particularly on the Muslim Brotherhood and the [[Holy Land Foundation]]. NEFA is not a particularly prominent organisation. Data from compete.com suggests that the website only received between 1,000 and 2,000 visitors a month during 2007<ref>[[Media: Nefafoundation_org_sess.JPG| Visits to nefafoundation.org February 2007 - February 2008]]</ref> and in February 2008 terrorism expert [[Daniel Byman]] told the ''Charleston City Paper'' he had never heard of NEFA<ref>Greg Hambrick, [http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A40668 ‘Charleston’s Counter-Terrorism Unit’], ''Charleston City Paper'', 20 February 2008</ref>.

The NEFA Foundation or Nine/Eleven Finding Answers Foundation is a not-for-profit terrorism research institute based in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. The organisation says it strives to help prevent future tragedies in the US and abroad by exposing those responsible for planning, funding, and executing terrorist activities, with a particular emphasis on Islamic militant organizations.'[1] This is achieved by what it calls 'cohesive and comprehensive efforts to research, analyze, and disseminate information pertaining to past and current terrorist activities'. NEFA says it 'shares it findings with law enforcement agencies and the intelligence community where appropriate'Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

History

NEFA was reportedly founded in 2004 by its President Michelle Hayes and its Operations Director David Draper. According to an article in the Charleston City Paper, Hayes was approached by families of victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks in February 2004[2]. According to Domain Tools the organisation’s website was created on 24 August that year.

Although based in South Carolina, NEFA’s original address was in New York at 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 3300,[3] which is the address of Harris Rand Lusk, a recruitment company specialising in providing executives for not-for-profit organisations. Harris Rand Lusk’s not-for-profit clients include the September 11th Fund and Wall Street Rising - a coalition of businesses, industries and residents aiming to “restore vibrancy and vitality to Lower Manhattan” after September 11th.[4] It therefore seems likely that that Harris Rand Lusk played a major part in establishing NEFA, most likely on behalf of the September 11th Fund. One possibility is that NEFA’s President Michelle Hayes is a former employee of Harris Rand Lusk. This is suggested by her profile on NEFA’s website which states that she “speaks…on the subjects of non-profit board recruitment and development”.[5]

In its 2004 accounts NEFA states that at that time Susan Molinari was Vice President and John Rafaelli was Secretary. They were then also CEO and employee respectively of the lobbying company Washington Group (a subsidiary Ketchum - of which Molinari was also President). In 2003 they had both lobbied on behalf of 9-11 Families United To Bankrupt Terrorism and Motley Rice (the law firm which has brought several punitive civil cases representing victims of the September 11th attacks).[6]. NEFA Director David Draper is also known to have done contract work for Motley Rice before NEFA was established and the two companies are based in the same US town.[7]

In its 2005 accounts NEFA listed only two paid investigators. Douglas Farah was paid $94,031, and a company D2 LLC was paid $170,913. The website of the Veromi Business Index lists a D2 LLC as being co-owned by NEFA Director David Draper.[8] Since then several ‘experts’ have joined NEFA. In October 2007 Evan Kohlmann closed his website Globalterroralert.com and redirected traffic to NEFA[9]. This led to a short-lived increase in visits to NEFA’s website.[10]

Activities

NEFA’s website collates information on terrorism, such as court documents, government reports and videos and internet postings by jihadist groups. It also publishes ‘Special Reports’ by its investigators on particular subjects. NEFA has focused particularly on the Muslim Brotherhood and the Holy Land Foundation. NEFA is not a particularly prominent organisation. Data from compete.com suggests that the website only received between 1,000 and 2,000 visitors a month during 2007[11] and in February 2008 terrorism expert Daniel Byman told the Charleston City Paper he had never heard of NEFA[12].

Funding

According to the organisation’s 2005 accounts it received a donation of $150,000 in 2003.[13] However, this donation is not mentioned in the 2004 accounts and it may simply be a mistake in the filings which should refer to 2004. The fact that the 2004 accounts were filed on forms appropriate for the year before[14] and that the organisation’s website was not created until August 2004 seem to confirm this conclusion. Assuming that this is correct, the Foundation was set up after receiving a gift of $150,000 in 2004. That gift was probably an ongoing annual contribution since the same amount was provided the following year. Since that initial donation NEFA has been able to raise substantial funds. In its 2005 accounts it reports receiving $5,097,450 from direct public support. Whether or not these funds come from individuals or institutions is not clear from the available accounts, but the website does seek individual donations. An article in the Charleston City Paper refers to “a corporate gift”[15] which may refer to the original $150,000.
