Gavin’s New Grift: Newsom Announces He is Awarding $80 Million in Funding to 343 Nonprofits and Faith-Based Orgs
Nonprofits are the perfect place government funding and grants go to hide

Governor Gavin Newsom announced Thursday he is awarding $80 million in funding to 343 nonprofit and faith-based organizations throughout California following the San Diego mosque shooting.
How interesting. California has a $30 billion budget deficit (that we know of) and the governor is spending another $80 million on 343 nonprofit and faith-based organizations that have yet to be named and announced.
So, why is the governor dropping another $80 million on non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) who have no accountability to the taxpayers and no way to follow the money?
“Hate and violence have no place in California. By investing in critical security upgrades, we are leading the nation in protecting places of worship and high-risk communities, strengthening preparedness, and ensuring every Californian can gather safely and without fear,” says Newsom.
He’s using “Hate and violence” the same way he does “climate change.” It’s code for spending without accountability. I wonder what the Legislative Analyst and State Auditor think about this plan? Because I can’t find who the 343 nonprofits and faith-based groups being awarded the taxpayer funding are, I even asked Grok to find out and this is what I got:
“To obtain the full list: Contact Cal OES directly (via the CSNSGP inbox or their grants management team) or submit a California Public Records Act request.”
This smells like another Newsom nonprofit scam like Diapergate… or First Partner Jennifer Newsom’s multiple “educational” nonprofits taking taxpayer funding to produce porn for California public schools–and income for herself.
Why is the Newsom administration doing its business through non-profits? https://t.co/7vSIycm2Xu

“Why is the Newsom administration doing its business through nonprofits?” I asked on X in response to yet another nonprofit Newsom and his First Partner are promoting and enriching with taxpayer funding – and this one not only gives away free diapers, they manufacture their own. (More about Diapergate here)
I bring this up again because nothing came of this revelation. The California news media thought it was cute and moved on. Meanwhile Baby2Baby, the $77 million non-profit is getting another $20 million of California taxpayers money to give away “free” diapers to all new mothers in California. If the governor was sincere about wanting to provide free diapers to women who need the financial assistance, he could eliminate a lot of bureaucracy and provide coupons to the mothers, we noted several times. Yet, no comment from Gov. Newsom.
Newsom’s new announcement has a link to the “competitively chosen grantees,” but it just takes me to the CalOES Grants page. And the CalOES 2026 grants link takes me to the Fiscal Year 2025 California State Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CSNSGP) Allocations.
His announcement breaks down the latest round of funding:
- $80 million has been awarded to strengthen security at 343 nonprofit organizations statewide.
- 228 faith-based organizations are among the recipients.
- $76 million will go directly to nonprofits for security improvements.
- $4 million will support program administration and technical assistance.
Well, that’s helpful. Not.
This smells like a potential kickback scam. Or another 90 hospices in one LA building kind of arrangement. Or a daycare scam. Or a “migrant services” scam. Or a homeless NGO scam.
Under Newsom, California has directed billions of dollars towards groups for “migrant services” and homelessness, including large sums to Catholic Charities, Jewish Family Services, and others.
And now he’s going to give them more?
What can’t be ignored is the ideological alignment: Many taxpayer funded nonprofits and NGOs advocate policies supported by Newsom, including providing illegal immigration support services, promoting DEI and “equity” initiatives, fighting climate change, solving homelessness, and dishing out free diapers.
Newsom is effectively subsidizing the Democrats’ political infrastructure by “importing” migrants and creating dependency.
In February, Gov. Newsom announced $35 million in “funding to increase mutual aid, and support local partners that connect families with needed services and other recent awards to provide legal representation to Californians facing deportation.” He calls it “state investment and philanthropic collaboration.” Some call it fraud.
Why is the governor subsidizing “philanthropic” organizations? They have endowments and funders.
Effectively, Newsom is taking taxpayer money and giving it to ideologically-aligned groups, nonprofits, NGO’s, mosques, synagogues and churches– instead of hiring law enforcement officers, fixing California’s third-world highways and roads, and rebuilding the Palisades and wildfire areas.
We are willing to bet that if/when we get the list of the 343 nonprofit and faith-based organizations, most, if not all, will have some relationship with Gov. Newsom, the California Democrat Party, local and state Democrats, and former Democrat politicians.
Nonprofits also employ lobbyists/advocates that apparently taxpayers are helping to employ as well.
As the Globe has explained many times, nonprofits aren’t subject to the same California Public Record Act requests, FOIAs and sunshine rules as government agencies are. In fact, non-profits are the perfect place government grants go to hide.

The over 2 million tax-exempt nonprofit organizations (NPOs) established in the mid 20th century in the U.S. and eastern Europe have often become subversive, fraudulent and criminal actors. Wielding some $6 trillion dollars in assets, NPOs have prospered in the “charitable charade” of scams in government problems like immigration, healthcare, environmental and homelessness. They also play and pay in politics that is prohibited in IRS Code Section 501(c). Stop them!
This effort is a naked attempt to fund Newsom’s 2028 campaign. The only race Newsom should be in is the federal prison exercise yard.
However NGO’s got started needs to be reversed and re examined to see that what they are going benefits the country and its taxpayers, and adheres to the scope of work of their agreement.
So, the Muslims have discovered another way to make us pay jizya without the tedium and expense of a proper conquest.

My guess is that the Southern Poverty Law Center will be one of the recipients.
Katy Grimes is right again that Newsom’s latest grift of handing out $80 million to Democrat connected NGOs and nonprofits is just another one of the Democrat’s kickback and money laundering schemes with no accountability to the taxpayers and no way to follow the money.
She’s also right that Newsom is pretending to cover up this latest grift by claiming that it will stop “Hate and violence” the same way he schleps about using taxpayer funds to stop “climate change,” end “homelessness,” help “migrants” (illegals) and establishing “hospices” that end up having no patients. It’s just one Democrat grift and scam after another.
The midterm elections are coming up and Newsom the evil Reptilian wants to be installed as president so the criminal Democrat thug mafia is working overtime to subsidize their political infrastructure by stealing taxpayer dollars while importing their illegal alien voters, creating an ever increasing dependent voter underclass, and making sure they enrich themselves and their cronies.
God help us?
What do you expect from Gavin Newsome, a WEF “Young Global Leader”. He and his buddy Justin Trudeau were made YGLs in Davos in 2008 by Dr. Klaus Schwab. Newsom wants the WEF Great Reset through Agenda 2030 and Cloward-Piven. If he is elected President, we will join Canada, Australia, UK, Germany, France and more ruled by WEF stooges.

King Gavin has decreed it and so it will be…
Let the fraudsters feed at the web of the corrupt Democrat NGO’s and charities – anybody think Malia Cohen will do any investigations or (gasp) AUDITS of this disbursement program?
FOLKS – Newsom is like a crime boss, along with his “First Partner” in Crime, but it’s becoming SO obvious that the corruption, fraud and graft is endemic in California politics, especially the Sacramento swamp.
California NEEDS Chad Bianco’s LAW ENFORCEMENT experience and sensibilities to CHANGE this theft of OUR TAX MONEY!!!
$76 million will go directly to nonprofits for security improvements.
$4 million will support program administration and technical assistance.
Notice how the lower number to the administration is more like a bribe to implement mass surveillance, which could be used by the wrong people
“He’s using “Hate and violence” the same way he does “climate change.” It’s code for spending without accountability.”
This is spot on.
Idea instead of Giving away Taxpayers money`s let him Give away his own money /!
Funding Terrorism and Destruction of the country with our tax money. I wonder what his kickback is?
Yet again, where’s the Republicans? Whatever Gavin wants to do, he gets to do. Gavin is a very dangerous man who should be behind Prison Bars. He is a deadly ENEMY of the USA. He used to a member of the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM that is an Evil GLOBALIST Organization which has ties to the UN. That’s where is NET ZERO, Carbon Neutrality and UN SMART CITIES aka 15-MINUTE-CITIES comes in. The Palisades and Malibu was DELIBERATELY BURNT DOWN and Giggling Gavin did his little dance, blamed this on Climate Change and Global Warming and said that area was going to be SMARTLA2028. Both Gavin and Karen Bass should be in PRISON, not running for mayor of LA again or Gavin running for USA President. Hmm, what’s wrong with this picture? Karen Bass and Gavin free as birds and running for mayor and for USA president.
Well, I tried, but why exactly is Gavin getting away with all this? WHO is supposed to be OPPOSING all this? Hmm, I think it’s the Republicans. I don’t meant to keep bashing them but WHO is constantly MIA here? Am I not stating the Obvious? I vote REPUBLICAN, but I’m getting I more and more frustrated y the Lack of Opposition. And also, just look up SMARTLA2028. It exists!
Ok again, I voted REPUBLICAN a few times, but who exactly is MIA when it comes to Countering Gavin Newsom? A lucky guess would be the MIA Republicans. Why else has Gavin been allowed to get away with so much? And the more nothing about this and the Arrogant evil Gavin remains Unpunished, the more Arrogant and Evil Gavin becomes . It’s not rocket science.
Oh, I also tried to warn that Gavin Newsom was a WEF member and the WEF are evil Globalists and being evil GLOBALISTS, they also align with the UN and it’s SMART CITIES aka 15-MINUTE-CITIES aka C40 Cities. They want everyone trapped there. They want NO ONE to be Home owners or Own anything or go anywhere outside of that area. The WEF And Globalist Motto is: You Will own Nothing, have No Privacy and You’ve Never been Happier. LA was designated to be a SMART CITY and it was even called SMARTLA2028. Just look up SMARTLA2028. That’s why the Palisades and Malibu was DELIBERATELY BURNT DOWN. deleting my comments won’t change that. Why was that Reservoir EMPTY? Why were the firemen sent home? Why wasn’t that fire that an arsonist caused not allowed to be entirely extinguished? Why did Gavin tell people NOT to clear areas away from their house perimeters? Why did Gavin and Newsom cut the FIRE DEPT BUDGET FUNDS? This was NOT an Accident. Gavin Newsom also did his little dance and giggle, blamed this on Climate Change and Global Warming and Gavin even said, it was going to be rebuilt and named SMARTLA2028. I didn’t make any of this up.
This is not “Rocket Science” just use a little common sense. If an organization has a function of servicing an issue, why would they ever consider “solving” the issue.
