Smith Richardson Foundation

From dKosopedia

Based on the Vicks Vaporub fortune, the Smith Richardson Foundation with $500 million in assets makes nearly $25 million in grants a year.

Along with research grants to junior-level academics in political science, public policy,etc, the Foundation provides significant support to conservative think-tanks across the country.

The Foundation became active in supporting conservative causes in 1973 when [R. Richardson Randolph] became its president. Forbes estimates the Richardsons to have a net worth of $870 million, which makes it one of the U.S.'s richest families.

The Smith Richardson Foundation was intimately connected to the Iran-Contra scandal.
