Very good investigating here,not surprised at all with the findings.
.... Meet the Arabellans
As with mapmaking, the cardinal rule of political cartography is simple: find North. In the case of the Arabella nonprofit network, North is found at the corporate headquarters of Arabella Advisors on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, D.C.
Arabella Advisors is a private for-profit company that provides philanthropy consulting services to major foundations, wealthy donors, and political influencers on the Left. Arabella Advisors prizes the image of itself as “the only provider of a true end-to-end platform of philanthropic services” in the United States, specializing in “philanthropy and impact investing” services, or what it calls “strategic philanthropy.”15
Arabella’s version of “strategic philanthropy” usually takes the form of guiding grants to left-wing causes, a service that evidently pays well. The company has grown rapidly since its creation in 2005 and today represents clients with collective assets totaling more than $100 billion, according to its website.16 Worth reported in November 2017 that Arabella is the largest philanthropy consultancy in America and has a staff of 160, catering to more than half of the 50 largest grantmaking foundations in the country.17 18
Eric Kessler founded Arabella Advisors and currently works as a principal and senior managing director for the firm. Kessler comes from a wealthy Chicago family whose fortune originated with the 1998 sale of Fel-Pro, their auto parts manufacturer and “fifth-generation family-owned business,” for a reported $750 million.19 20 [I will let the reader run with the underlined dots,because Chicago has always been known for it's law abiding citizens right. DC]
Prior to joining the Clinton administration, Kessler was national field director for the League of Conservation Voters, a major 501(c)(4) environmental advocacy group that has been described as a “dark money heavyweight” by the left leaning Center for Public Integrity.21 He was later appointed to the Clinton administration to work on “conservation issues.”22 According to a biography on the website Friends of the Global Fight, Kessler later served as a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, an arm of the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation; his official Arabella Advisors biography, however, makes no mention of his affiliation with the scandal-ridden Clinton Foundation.23 (Former President Bill Clinton has been criticized by the Washington Post for “intermingling . . . foundation and paid work” through millions of dollars in speaking fees paid by companies and organizations that are also major donors to the Clinton Foundation.)24 [hmmm, given that he was appointed by the Communist Clinton, put to 'work' on 'conservation issues', sounds like a play on a word,and in the real world he was put to work to attack 'conservative issues'. So we are now over 20 ,25 years into this work,and you can bet your backside that a whole bunch of people have become aware of how the left does its 'work' on conservative issues.If you are not sure what I am saying,ask Trump,he will explain it,as he is well aware of the district wide Treason,he finds himself in the midst of these days DC]
Kessler is also a board member of the Family Alliance Foundation, his family’s grantmaking nonprofit, which largely funds medical causes. The foundation also funds the World Resources Institute, an environmentalist nonprofit created with start-up capital from the MacArthur Foundation.25 26
What’s In a Name?
There’s a distinctly maritime theme to the names of Kessler’s nonprofits and company. “Windward,” for instance, is a reference to the side of a ship facing the wind (as opposed to the “leeward” side).
As strange as it sounds, the reason for this theme is perhaps hidden in the New Venture Fund’s 2006 application for tax-exempt status under the IRS. At that time, the nonprofit was known as the Arabella Legacy Fund, a name almost certainly taken from Kessler’s for-profit consultancy (Kessler himself served as founding president of the Fund). It adopted its current name in 2009. According to its organizational documents filed with the IRS, the New Venture Fund was created to turn evangelical Christians into environmentalist activists, going so far as to provide an “Environmental Toolkit . . . designed to enable Pastors to integrate creation care teaching into their ministry”:27
The Pastor’s toolkit will include materials . . . to educate Pastors regarding creation care’s basis in Scripture, as well as fact sheets for Pastors and their congregations on various environmental topics and suggestions for how congregations can take action to care for God’s creation [emphasis added].
While neither Arabella Advisors nor Eric Kessler have disclosed the origins of their groups’ names, this early effort to embed environmentalism into evangelical Protestant churches may have informed the names Kessler gave to three of Arabella Advisors’ four in-house nonprofits (and the company itself): the Arabella Legacy Fund (now New Venture Fund), Hopewell Fund, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund. [Yeah it could be this,but it also could be his way of saying he is operating under Admiralty Law? DC]
