- The U.S. Senate, led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), is investigating the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Ford Foundation for allegedly funneling millions of tax-exempt funds to CCP-linked entities, potentially violating IRS rules.
- The Gates Foundation alone directed $23 million to Chinese state-run universities, ministries and PLA-affiliated programs, while Ford and Rockefeller collectively granted $17.4 million to Belt and Road Initiative projects and CCP-aligned groups.
- Critics warn these donations may advance China’s Belt and Road Initiative—a tool for expanding Beijing’s global influence—raising questions about whether U.S. charities are inadvertently supporting foreign political agendas.
- Bill Gates has a history of collaboration with CCP-backed groups like the CPAFFC, blurring lines between philanthropy and geopolitical influence, particularly in public health initiatives.
- Grassley’s letters demand transparency by Nov. 10, threatening tighter IRS oversight if funds are found to violate tax-exempt rules, signaling bipartisan scrutiny of nonprofits’ ties to adversarial regimes.
(Natural News)—A U.S. Senate investigation is scrutinizing the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, alongside two other major philanthropic organizations, over allegations they funneled millions in tax-exempt funds to entities tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced the probe, citing concerns that these donations may violate Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules prohibiting tax-exempt charities from directly supporting foreign governments. The inquiry follows reports that the Gates Foundation alone provided $23 million to CCP-linked institutions, raising questions about transparency and potential misuse of charitable funds for geopolitical influence.
According to tax filings and investigative reports, the Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund and Ford Foundation collectively directed tens of millions to Chinese state-run universities, government ministries and initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative. According to BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, this is a global infrastructure program critics argue extends Beijing’s political leverage.
Grassley’s letters, sent to each organization, demand explanations for how such funding aligns with U.S. tax laws, which prohibit 501(c)(3) nonprofits from supporting foreign governments.
The Gates Foundation reportedly allocated $11.7 million in 2023 to CCP?controlled agencies, including China’s Ministries of Commerce and Ecology, as well as state?run universities collaborating with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Similarly, the Ford Foundation allegedly granted nearly $10 million to Belt and Road-linked projects, while the Rockefeller Brothers Fund disbursed $7.4 million to CCP-affiliated groups between 2020 and 2024.
In 2014, Gates visited the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), a CCP-backed organization, to promote philanthropic collaboration. His foundation has partnered with Chinese institutions on public health initiatives, though critics argue these relationships blur the line between humanitarian aid and political influence.
The Belt and Road Initiative, a centerpiece of China’s global strategy, has drawn particular concern. Analysts warn it traps developing nations in debt while advancing Beijing’s geopolitical ambitions. Grassley’s probe questions whether U.S. tax-exempt funds—ostensibly for charity—are inadvertently supporting this agenda.
Responses and rebuttals
The Ford Foundation defended its grants, stating they align with “fundamental American values” like poverty reduction and international cooperation. “Our funds are used for charitable purposes in alignment with our mission,” a spokesperson said.
The Gates Foundation has yet to publicly respond but has previously framed its China funding as supporting global health research.
Grassley, however, remains skeptical.
“To maintain tax-exempt status, an organization’s activities must be charitable in nature and may not directly support or promote the interests of a foreign government,” he wrote. His letters demand a detailed accounting of the grants by Nov. 10.
The investigation underscores growing bipartisan unease over U.S. nonprofits’ financial entanglements with adversarial regimes. If the allegations hold, the case could prompt tighter IRS oversight of foreign donations—and force major philanthropies to reevaluate partnerships with autocratic governments. For now, the probe signals that even the most influential charities are not immune to scrutiny when national security and taxpayer interests are at stake.

The Biggest Threat to Your Retirement Is Actually a Very Good Thing
When you look at the headlines today, you’ll see experts in the retirement industry warning about big threats to your financial security:
- De-dollarization and the rise of BRICS
- Soaring national debt
- Unstable interest rates
- Weakened U.S. dollar
All of these are real concerns. But they aren’t the biggest threat to your retirement savings. The true risk isn’t political, monetary, or global.
It’s longevity.
Why Longevity Is the Silent Threat
For most of human history, the problem was the opposite — life expectancy was short, and few people even reached retirement. Today, thanks to medical advancements, healthier lifestyles, and better living conditions, people are living longer than ever before.
And while that’s a wonderful thing, it comes with a financial catch: Your retirement account has to last far longer than you might expect.
- A 65-year-old couple today has a 50% chance that one of them will live to 90.
- Some projections suggest that many of us will live well into our 90s, even 100+.
- This means your nest egg may need to stretch not for 15 years, but 25, 30, or even 40 years.
That’s where the real danger lies: running out of money before you run out of life.
The Retirement Equation Has Changed
While market volatility, debt crises, or central bank policies may feel like the scariest threats, they’re temporary storms. Longevity, however, is a structural shift. Every extra year of life is another year of expenses, another year of inflation erosion, and another year of financial pressure.
If your retirement plan doesn’t account for longevity, you could face tough choices later in life — downsizing, working when you’d rather not, or becoming financially dependent on others.
How to Take Control
The good news? Longevity is a blessing — as long as you’re prepared for it. With the right planning, your retirement savings can work for you instead of against you. The key is learning how to protect your wealth, outpace inflation, and ensure your savings grow even as you live longer.
