Mark Zuckerberg has been accused of indirectly funding the nonprofit Protect Democracy, which is suing the Trump administration. A spokesperson clarified that neither Zuckerberg nor his philanthropic organization, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, has made any donations to this organization. Instead, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, where Zuckerberg maintains an account, granted $3 million to Protect Democracy in 2023. However, the foundation hosts funds from numerous donors, so this does not directly implicate Zuckerberg in the donation.
"Mr. Zuckerberg nor his wife, nor their joint philanthropic organization, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, had ever made a donation to Protect Democracy."
"Zuckerberg is among the largest and most prominent donors to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which manages funds for wealthy donors."
