Executive summary

Indivisible’s funding picture, as reflected in the provided reporting, shows a mix of mass small-dollar contributions and identifiable large gifts from wealthy individuals and left‑of‑center foundations or networks — notably Reid Hoffman and funders linked to the Democracy Alliance — but the sources do not document any named corporate donors to Indivisible [1] [2] [3]. OpenSecrets and other watchdog profiles show PAC and outside‑spending pages for Indivisible entities but do not, in the excerpts supplied here, surface clear corporate contributors by name [4] [5] [6].

1. What the public record in these sources actually shows about who gives

Reporting cited by InfluenceWatch and summarized on Wikipedia attributes much of Indivisible’s early growth to a combination of widespread small donations through ActBlue and several high‑profile large donors, including tech entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and foundations or coalitions connected to Democracy Alliance figures such as Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt‑Hendrix [2] [1] [3]. Those accounts emphasize individual and foundation backing rather than donations from corporations, and note nearly $6 million raised since inception largely through small donors alongside those named large donors [1].

2. What watchdog and disclosure sites reveal — and what they don’t

OpenSecrets maintains profiles for the Indivisible Project, its PACs and outside‑spending, and lists contributors to Indivisible entities for election cycles, but the excerpts here show the presence of donor tables and PAC donor pages without listing specific corporate donors in the selected snippets [4] [5] [6] [7]. GuideStar, Charity Navigator and Foundation Directory entries describe Indivisible’s organizational structure — including the 501(c) Indivisible Project and the 501(c) Indivisible Civics — and note required filings such as Form 990s that would be the place to confirm named institutional or corporate grants, but the supplied extracts do not quote such filings showing corporate names [8] [9] [10].

3. The role of foundations, pass‑throughs and wealthy networks

Several pieces of the reporting point to foundation and network pathways that often blur direct attribution: Indivisible used the Indivisible Fund as a project of the Tides Foundation early on, and Indivisible Civics’ board connections tie it to established philanthropic channels; these structures make it typical for funding to flow from wealthy individuals and foundations or through intermediaries rather than as overt corporate line‑items [11] [2] [12]. InfluenceWatch and SceneInAmerica repeatedly highlight Democracy Alliance–linked donors and major individual funders; those are philanthropic actors, not corporate donors per se [2] [3].

4. How to interpret the absence of named corporate donors in these extracts

Given the material available, the responsible reading is that Indivisible has notable wealthy and foundation donors (Reid Hoffman; donors linked to Democracy Alliance; use of Tides Foundation), extensive small‑donor fundraising via ActBlue, and organized PAC/outside‑spending structures tracked by OpenSecrets — but the provided sources do not document direct corporate donors by name, nor do they contradict that possibility if other records exist beyond these excerpts [1] [2] [4]. OpenSecrets’ donor pages and IRS‑required filings would be the primary records to check for any corporate contributions; the supplied snippets show those resources exist but don’t display corporate entries in this dataset [4] [6] [8].

5. Bottom line and caveats

Answering the central question: based on the supplied reporting, Indivisible is supported by mass small donations and identifiable wealthy individuals and foundations — but no notable corporate donors are named in these sources [1] [2] [3]. That is a negative finding based on the documents provided, not an exhaustive assertion that corporations have never given; confirming an absence of corporate donors would require reviewing the full OpenSecrets donor tables, Indivisible’s IRS filings (Form 990s where applicable), and foundation grant databases cited in the full records [4] [6] [10].
