Profile: Anti-capitalist lobbying service provider. Their mission statement reads: THE SOLIDAGO FOUNDATION, INC. AWARDS GRANTS TO THE TIDES FOUNDATION AND TO OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE GOALS ARE TO PROMOTE A HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE, JUST AND DEMOCRATIC WORLD. Helped fund Massachusetts anti-business election law mandating public funding of campaigns, with non-profits considered public, but for-profits not.

Their profile in FNTG reads: The Solidago Foundation supports non-profit organizations in the US and in Mexico working on economic, environmental and electoral justice issues. The focus of our global justice program has two equally important inter-linked goals: to develop an international grassroots movement against corporate-driven globalization that directly uplifts and empowers those people who are most impacted by it; and to stop, delay and/or significantly alter the direction of new treaties and policies by international bodies, governments and corporations that globalize economies.
