Arabella Advisors Hydra Head Morphs Into Sunflower Services

Wednesday, November 19th, 2025

You can’t tell the radical left social justice NGOs without a scorecard, and now one of the biggest NGOs is shapeshifting again.

Nearly three months after the New York Times revealed that the Gates Foundation had decided to sever ties with philanthropic advisor Arabella Advisors, which engineered a sprawling “dark money” network of nonprofit entities, including the New Venture Fund (NVF), Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund, and Windward Fund, that continues to wage color-revolution-style operations against President Trump in an effort to crush the populist movement through the protest-industrial complex, there is news that the powerful far-left philanthropic consulting firm that handles money for rogue progressive billionaires or their foundations is being rolled into a new vehicle.

“Stick a fork in Arabella Advisors. The powerful progressive philanthropic consulting firm is no more,” New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer wrote on X, adding, “Instead, Arabella’s managed funds are investing in a new vehicle that will effectively bring Arabella’s services in house to each of the funds. And Arabella Advisors won’t exist anymore.”

Schleifer pointed to a press release stating that Sunflower Services, a newly spun-up Public Benefit Corporation backed by NVF with support from the Windward and Hopewell Funds, has acquired Arabella Advisors’ fiscal sponsorship servicing business.

“Arabella Advisors will cease operations, and Sunflower Services will ensure continuity for clients and staff,” the press release stated.

The deal transfers Arabella’s operational infrastructure and staff to Sunflower, which will now provide administrative and operational services for NVF, Windward, Hopewell, and numerous other nonprofit projects. The nonprofits handled more than $1.179 billion across nearly 200 projects in the last year.

Even though Arabella claims neutrality, overwhelming evidence from Peter Schweizer & Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute shows that through the Arabella network, some of these funds have supported organizations linked to left-wing, anti-capitalist, anti-police, anti-Israel, and at times anti-American agendas.

You may remember Arabella Advisors from such hits as “NGOs Funneling Tax Money To Domestic Terror” and “Let’s All Smear Brett Kavanaugh As A Rapist.”

Now that same dirty work will be carried out by Sunflower Services.

Meet the new abomination. Same as the old abomination.

NGOs Funneling Tax Money To Domestic Terror

Thursday, October 9th, 2025

If you’re looking into left-wing NGOs that channel money to domestic terror organizations like Antifa, the same names show up again and again: Soros, Singham, Arabella, Tides. If you’ve followed this blog, you’ve probably already know that. Now President Trump does as well.

Let’s recap what unfolded during Wednesday afternoon’s Antifa roundtable at the White House, hosted by President Trump.

Several journalists shared firsthand accounts of being attacked by Antifa activists, but the real fireworks came from Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, who briefed the president and his cabinet on a complex network of dark-money NGOs and activist groups fueling unrest nationwide via the permanent protest-industrial complex.

“We have identified dozens of radical organizations, not just the decentralized Antifa organizations, but dozens of radical organizations that have received more than $100 million from the Riot Inc investors,” Bruner told Trump.

Elon Musk chimed in on X, commenting on a video featuring Bruner’s public briefing to the president about the dark-money NGOs, saying, “Way more than $100M of US taxpayer money.”

Snip.

According to GAI’s findings, the chaos now gripping cities like Portland, Chicago, and Los Angeles — especially the recent waves of anti-ICE violence — isn’t spontaneous. It’s organized, coordinated, and funded.

Bruner’s new research maps how progressive philanthropic networks intersect with activist groups that have escalated from demonstrations to riots. The report highlights how complex webs of charitable entities, donor-advised funds, and online platforms provide cover for financing activism that sometimes crosses into criminal behavior.

Organizations like Antifa, the Socialist Rifle Association (SRA), and the John Brown Gun Club operate decentralized chapters, making it difficult to track funding trails without subpoena power,” Bruner said on X. “GAI has identified multiple online fundraising platforms where accountability gaps can obscure who contributes and how funds are used. The leftist funding platform, Open Collective, still allows for crowdfunding for these groups.”

The first step should be an immediate halt to any taxpayers fund finding their way into into the accounts of these far-left riot funding organizations. Next should be DOJ lawsuits, subpoenas for financial and communication records, followed by forensic audits of proctological intensity. Then should come criminal prosecutions for anyone that actively encouraged and contributed money specifically for violence and rioting.

And every NGO that contributed to this effort should be closed, their assets seized, and their records published to name and shame those who committed political violence in the name of radical leftwing social justice.

Sowing the earth with salt should be optional…
