Dallas Foundation

The Dallas Foundation is a major contributor to Soros-backed leftist media attack group Media Matters for America. Based in Washington, DC, Media Matters is run by David Brock, who recently “declared war” on Fox News.^[1] The foundation has contributed $250,000 to Media Matters in recent years.^[2]

The Dallas Foundation is the oldest community foundation in Texas.^[3] It's most recent IRS filing says it “grants to charitable causes, mostly in Dallas County, intended to improve the quality of life in the areas of arts, education, health, social services, and community projects.”^[4] Why they've chosen to donate to radical left-wing organizations like Media Matters, who obviously provide none of the aforementioned services, raises questions about the stated mission of the foundation.

The Foundation's president is Mary M. Jalonick. Mary was the foundation's first fill-time employees in 1987. Since then, she has elevated to the foundation's president.
