Compared to the other names on this list, the Sall Family Foundation is a relatively modest grant maker, disbursing a combined $35.8 million to all recipients in 2024, the last year IRS filings have been made publicly available. But what they lack in magnitude, they make up in focus. Thirty percent of those grants, $10.7 million in all for 2024, were sent to four of the anti-energy NGOs profiled in the previous section of this report: [i]
- World Wildlife Fund: $4.8 million
- Rocky Mountain Institute: $2.9 million
- Environmental Defense Fund: $2.5 million
- World Resources Institute: $500,000
The Sall Family Foundation was founded and funded by John and Virginia “Ginger” Sall. According to a Forbes profile, John Sall is the co-founder of SAS, a statistical software firm, and his net worth is estimated to be $6.5 billion—placing him in spot number 192 on the Forbes list of richest Americans.[ii] [iii]
In addition to holding a spot as co-founder on the board at the Sall Family Foundation, Virginia Sall is also listed as a board member at the Environmental Defense Fund. EDF makes the following boast about its board members: “Fortune magazine called our board one of the most influential nonprofit boards in the country.” [iv]
