Mark Zuckerberg and Meta, but also Netflix, WhatsApp and many other Big Tech companies and CEOs that are household names are also big funders of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. According to new follow-the-money research conducted by the Institute for Journalism and Social Change in partnership with Noor: - Seven internationally-active US anti-rights groups, opposing sexual and reproductive rights around the world, received at least $3.6 million from this Silicon Valley philanthropy over the decade from fiscal year 2014 to 2023 (the last year for which financial filings were available, as of October 2025) - Between them, these groups have been involved in anti-rights activities including: anti-LGBTQI “conversion therapy” in Latin America; anti-abortion legal challenges in Eastern Europe; and “sexual purity” classes in Africa. - It is unclear what exactly these groups were given money for, and it is unclear who were the ultimate donors of this money that SVCF managed and spent. SVCF told us it was spent through ‘Donor-Advised Funds’ that it manages, rather than from the foundation’s own endowment.
