I don't know where you are getting your numbers, but they are orders of magnitude wrong.

- chipotle_coyote 6y agoAlso, the numbers for Greenpeace are wrong, according to their annual reports. https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/about/annual-reports-and-financial-statements/ https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/about/annual-reports-and-fina... Their expenditures for all their "program services" (their various activism campaigns) was $27.4M in 2019 and $26.3M in 2018. If the Koch Bros. spend about $200M a year on activism, they're actually substantially outspending Greenpeace. Which, well, is to be expected: Greenpeace is a non-profit that's very often taking positions opposing major corporations. (Greenpeace is actually a collection of quasi-independent groups around the world, but since the Koch's activism is primarily focused in the US, it makes sense to compare them to Greenpeace USA.)
