Richard Spencer’s National Policy Institute has lost its non-profit status, but it’s not the only non-profit white nationalist group accepting tax-deductible donations.
Three other prominent white nationalist organizations also shared the designation, according to an Associated Press review in December, and have so for over a decade.
The groups share ideology and also have institutional connections.
The New Century Foundation
Helmed by prominent white nationalist Jared Taylor, the foundation raises money for the benefit of the “white race,” according to Taylor, who is a former vice president of Spencer’s NPI.
The Charles Martel Society
The Southern Poverty Law Center calls this group “an anti-immigration hate website.” It was founded by right-wing publisher William Regnery II, who also founded NPI in 2005.
VDare Foundation
This anti-immigration group, headed by Peter Brimelow, focuses, on the “unsustainability of current US immigration policy” and the “National Question.” The Vdare website publishes articles by prominent white nationalists like Taylor.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
