Disclosed philanthropic funder of an advocacy organization and coalition supporter
Omidyar Network
Omidyar Network is the philanthropic organization co-founded by Pierre Omidyar. The funding records here concern Omidyar Network Fund Inc, whose tax returns disclose general operating support to 5Rights. Its own campaign statement also credits support for the coalition behind California's 2022 design-code law.
Amounts and timing
The 2021 return reports US$600,000 paid to 5Rights as general operating support; the 2023 return reports US$850,000 on the same basis. A 15 September 2022 statement credits support with Reset for coalition mobilization and passage of California's code. These are charitable-entity payments, not eBay corporate payments. The later 2023 payment cannot be assigned to the earlier 2022 contract without additional financial records.
