[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know nothing about this group, but I will say that no nonprofit "has" to publicly disclose their donors; any that do are doing so voluntarily and it's a huge minority of them. [/quote]
They have a long history of intentionally obfuscating their donors going back to their original founding, when they were basically a dba under the Piedmont Environment Center - which is an organization run by the DuPont’s and other gilded age families that own estates in the Piedmont region. Their entire animating purpose was NIMBYism to prevent development near their estates.[/quote]

Huh?  Are you saying all of this about GGWASH?

Because...no:  https://www.washingtonian.com/2019/03/08/greater-greater-washington-lost-a-big-chunk-of-its-funding-now-what/

The Piedmont Environmental Center runs the Coalition for Smart Growth. They are also intricately tied with helping GGW get started. Prior to 2015, PEC managed GGWs finances and filed 990s on their behalf. Only after 2015 did GGW actually legally exist as its own entity.

I see absolutely no evidence of a tie between PEC and GGWASH.  And this thread contains other sources that explain the founding of GGWASH.

In fact if you google PEC and GGWASH the ONLY thing that comes up tying them together is this thread...[/quote]
