About
The Scaife Foundations are a group of private foundations established by the late conservative billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, known for funding right-wing think tanks, media outlets, and political organizations. The primary foundations include the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the Allegheny Foundation, and The Carthage Foundation, which often share administrative services and a common conservative philanthropic mission.
