The Sixteen Thirty Fund (sometimes styled “1630 Fund”) is a left-of-center lobbying and advocacy organization founded in 2008. ²⁰

ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is a now-defunct community organizing network that once had hundreds of affiliates nationwide. The group, which provided voter registration and mobilization efforts for left-wing causes beginning in the 1970s, disbanded in 2010 after declaring bankruptcy following a loss of federal funding. ²⁵ Giron lost the effort after only 44 percent voted to retain her. ²⁹

Another publication, Tax Analysts, noticed Sixteen Thirty Fund’s financial support for “Tax March” rallies planned to protest President Trump’s unwillingness to release his tax returns. It is unclear how much Sixteen Thirty Fund contributed to the march. ³¹

Amy Kurtz, Sixteen Thirty Fund’s president, has called the organization’s “dark money” spending “just playing by the rules.” 2020$100,000 Real Justice PAC2019$100,000 Change Now2020$100,000 Unite the Country2020$100,000 Family Friendly Action PAC2020$50,000 National Democratic County Officials2019$50,000 Montana Hunters and Anglers Leadership Fund2020$50,000 Working Families Party (WFP) Independent Expenditure Committee2020$50,000 Change Now2020$47,003 Forward Majority Action2020$30,000 Change Now2019$25,000 Change Now2020$19,402 Change Now2020$12,089 Change Now2020$1,184 Change Now2019$655 Change Now2019$230 Change Now2019$21 Change Now2019$20 Change Now2020$20 Change Now2019$20 Change Now2020$19 Change Now2019$19 Change Now2020$19 Change Now2019$19 Change Now2020$19 Change Now2019$19 Change Now2019$18 Change Now2019$18 Change Now2019$17 Change Now2019$17 Change Now2020$17 Change Now2019$17 Grand Total:$43,461,136

Major recipients of Sixteen Thirty Fund contributions include Victory 2020, a Democrat-aligned PAC (created to support American Bridge 21st Century and Unite the Country) whose total revenues (as of September 2020) were $5.9 million, $5.7 million of which came from Sixteen Thirty Fund; Unite the Country, a super PAC created in 2019 to help 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden; American Bridge 21st Century, which creates political advertisements attacking Republicans; House Majority PAC, a PAC that helps Democratic politicians running for the House of Representatives; and PACRONYM, a PAC responsible for numerous anti-Republican political advertisements and aligned with the advocacy organization ACRONYM. ⁴³

Project Activism in the 2020 Election

A number of Sixteen Thirty Fund projects were involved in aiding Democrats and hurting Republicans in the 2020 election.

Family Friendly Michigan ran multiple Facebook advertisements targeting Republican Senate candidate John James (MI) under the disclaimer “Family Friendly Action PAC.” However, Family Friendly Michigan’s other Facebook advertisements identify the group as part of the Sixteen Thirty Fund. ⁴⁸

Local Election Intervention

In May 2021, it was revealed that the Sixteen Thirty Fund had funneled $35,000 into a group supporting Democratic Anchorage mayoral candidate Forrest Dunbar. The funding came to light following an FEC complaint filed by Americans for Public Trust, a right-leaning watchdog group. ⁵⁰

Controversies

“Dark Money” Criticism from the Left and Right

Arabella and its nonprofit network have been criticized as “dark money” funders both for channeling hundreds of millions of dollars to left-wing organizations and for hosting hundreds of “pop-up groups”—websites designed to look like standalone nonprofits that are really projects of an Arabella-run nonprofit. ^{63 67} Kurtz is also an independent consultant. Prior to joining Sixteen Thirty Fund, she was a senior advisor for America Votes, a left-wing get-out-the-vote nonprofit heavily funded by Sixteen Thirty Fund and other Arabella-run nonprofits. She has also worked as an associate director at the National Education Association, as a project manager at Defenders of Wildlife, and as a campaign director for the League of Conservation Voters. ⁷⁰
