Stacey Abrams-Linked Group Received $2B From Biden Admin Slush Fund, DOGE Finds

A nonprofit linked to failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams received $2 billion from the Biden administration in 2024, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found. Power Forward Communities (PFC), the nonprofit, was established in October 2023 and received the $2 billion grant in April 2024, just six months after it began operating, The Washington Free Beacon reported. During its first three months of operation, it reported just $100 in revenue, tax filings revealed. PFC had never managed any amount of money near $2 billion, yet it was one of eight organizations that received grants from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. Those eight groups received $20 billion, which the Biden administration had stashed at an outside financial institution to ensure the government couldn’t oversee the funds’ allocation. The $20 billion slush fund was discovered by EPA administrator Lee Zeldin’s staff and DOGE earlier this month. “Roughly twenty billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA,” Zeldin announced. “This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and it was purposefully designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight.” As the Free Beacon noted, PFC’s inclusion as a recipient of the money “raises ethics questions about how the Biden administration selected recipients of such massive grants and whether it played favorites when doling those grants out.” Abrams was a staunch supporter of Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was created as a “green bank” under the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, despite its name, didn’t reduce inflation and instead doled out funds to favored left-wing organizations in the name of climate change. Abrams serves as senior counsel for the left-wing organization Rewiring America, which leads a coalition of groups, including PFC. “For an organization that has no experience in this, that was literally just established, and had $100 in the bank to receive a $2 billion grant—it doesn’t just fly in the face of common sense, it’s out and out fraud,” Daniel Turner, executive director of energy advocacy group Power the Future, told the Free Beacon. It is not the first time a group tied to Abrams has been embroiled in controversy. Earlier this month, an ethics watchdog filed an IRS complaint against nonprofits Abrams founded, The Daily Wire reported. Her groups, the New Georgia Project and its lobbying arm, the New Georgia Project Action Fund, were found to have violated state campaign finance laws and ordered to pay $300,000 in fines after failing to disclose more than $4 million in campaign contributions and another $3 million in expenditures during the 2018 election cycle.
