Documented outside funding to Reclaim-related work
Recorded status: Verified from contemporary reporting, IRS-derived nonprofit records, and RWJF filing. Additional years/grantmakers remain to be traced.
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
Documented outside funding exists at multiple layers. For the 2018 Medicaid expansion drive, Boise State Public Radio reported that the Washington, D.C.-based Fairness Project spent more than $500,000 in Idaho, including paid signature gathering; Reclaim staff acknowledged this support was critical during a key qualification period. Separately, Reclaim Idaho Fund (EIN 86-3680412) is shown in current nonprofit data as having received a $250,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for project 82227, described as 'Developing Citizen Advocates To Protect Idaho's Democracy and Quality of Life.' Reclaim Idaho Fund reported $312,808 revenue in 2024, of which $312,428 was contributions. These are distinct funding streams and should not be conflated: Fairness Project spending related to the 2018 ballot campaign; RWJF is a direct grant to Reclaim Idaho Fund in the nonprofit layer.
