Donors Capital Fund (DCF) is a nonprofit United States donor-advised charity that distributes grants to conservative and libertarian organizations. Donors Capital Fund is associated with Donors Trust, another donor-advised fund.
Donors Capital Fund was established in 1999. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. According to the organization, it was "formed to safeguard the charitable intent of donors who are dedicated to the ideals of limited government, personal responsibility, and free enterprise." Donors Capital Fund assures contributors that their donations will only support "a class of public charities firmly committed to liberty." Grants from Donors Capital Fund are based on the preferences of the original contributor.
Donors Capital Fund is associated with Donors Trust. Donors Trust refers clients to Donors Capital Fund if the client plans to maintain a balance of US$1 million or more.
As of 2016, the board of directors of Donors Capital Fund includes Lawson Bader, Adam Meyerson of Philanthropy Roundtable, Arthur C. Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute, Kimberly Dennis of the Searle Freedom Trust, Steven F. Hayward of the Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs, Kris Mauren of the Acton Institute, Scott Bullock of the Institute for Justice, and Roger Ream of The Fund for American Studies.
According to the The Guardian, Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund distributed nearly US$120 million to more than 100 groups skeptical of global warming between 2002 and 2010. According to a 2013 analysis by Drexel University environmental sociologist Robert Brulle, Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund combined were the largest funders of what he calls "the climate change countermovement" in the US between 2003 and 2013. Brulle estimated that by 2009, approximately one-quarter of the funding of the "climate countermovement" came from Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund.
