Swiss Billionaire’s Nonprofit Sent $35 Million To Dark Money Group Propping Up Dems

The Berger Action Fund, one arm of liberal Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss’ philanthropic empire, gave tens of millions to one of America’s most prolific Democrat-aligned dark money groups.

The Berger Action Fund, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, gave $35 million to the liberal dark money group Sixteen Thirty Fund in 2022, tax documents show. Sixteen Thirty Fund in 2022 poured tens of millions into Democrat-aligned PACs, groups supporting left-wing ballot measures and voter mobilization operations designed to increase turnout among Democrat-friendly demographics, according to tax forms.

Wyss, a Swiss billionaire who made his fortune selling medical devices, had not disclosed publicly whether he is a United States citizen as of 2021, The New York Times reported. A book written by Wyss’ sister titled “My Brother” and published in 2014 says that Wyss has “never applied for citizenship,” according to RealClearPolitics.
