New World Foundation
The New World Foundation is a liberal foundation,〔 p. 82.〕 based in New York.〔 It supports organizations that work on behalf of civil rights and that seek to encourage participation of citizens in American democracy. It was founded in 1954 by Anita McCormick Blaine, a prominent member of the McCormick family and an heiress to industrialist Cyrus Hall McCormick and a supporter of Henry Wallace's 1948 presidential campaign.

During that time, the Foundation gave money to a variety of organizations active in civil rights and other New Left causes,〔 p. 29.〕 including the Christic Institute, Grassroots International, Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), FAIR, and the National Lawyers Guild.〔〔Michael Fumento, "Investors Business Daily" October 14, 1992 http://fumento.com/hillary.html〕〔AIM (Accuracy in Media) Report, 2003 Report #15 http://www.aim.org/publications/aim_report/2003/15.html〕 By the early 1990s, the foundation was giving money to a Silicon Valley group fighting consequences of computer industry toxins,〔 p. 145.〕 all the while undergoing criticism for being invested in the likes of Louisiana Pacific, Nike, and Philip Morris.〔
