Americans for Public Trust is a nonprofit dedicated to “restoring trust by holding the powerful accountable,” according to its website. “That’s why we’ve created this first-of-its-kind database to help the public untangle the complex web of foreign money bankrolling leftwing nonprofits,” Sutherland said. Americans for Public Trust’s (APT) new database entitled Follow Foreign Money has so far tracked 523 groups, uncovered 12,094 records, and tracked over $5 billion in foreign spending and counting. “Foreign money funding advocacy in the United States is a threat to our democracy and must be exposed and stopped,” APT stated. Missouri joined many other states in banning foreign money from funding ballot issue campaigns.
