The Park Foundation is a left-of-center funding group for several of America’s most prominent environmentalist organizations. Led by left-of-center megadonor and heiress of the Duncan Hines foods and Park Communications media fortunes Adelaide Park Gomer, the foundation leads the movement to prohibit exploration for America’s natural gas resources. 1 Gomer has said that her Park Foundation “helped to fuel an army” of environmentalists to secure bans on certain forms of gas drilling in coastal states, most prominently New York. 2 The foundation is a major funder of the environmentalist movement, vegan interest and animal liberation causes, and left-of-center media. 2

The Park Foundation is notable for funding academic research on natural gas extraction and propaganda opposing the practice, most notably the controversial film Gasland.3 (The movie’s writer/director Josh Fox became flustered when confronted on National Public Radio with accusations of falsehoods in the film.4 An industry group issued an 11-page statement documenting errors in the film.5) Park Foundation-backed groups are a major source of advocacy against natural gas development in the mainstream media, leading pro-exploration critics to allege that the foundation is funding an anti-drilling “echo chamber.”6

Formation

The foundation was created by Roy H. Park, Sr., an advertising and public relations magnate who worked rural outreach for Republican Thomas Dewey in the 1948 Presidential Election.7 After creating and selling the Duncan Hines branded line of packaged foods, Park started Park Communications, which operated newspapers and radio stations.7 After Park’s death in 1993, the company was sold in October 1994 for just more than $711 million.8 After his death, he gave more than 70 percent of his wealth to the Park Foundation.9

Split over Political Differences

Dorothy Park, Park Sr.’s widow, split the foundation in two in 2001 amid acrimony in the family.11 The Triad Foundation’s political giving is small compared to its community service giving and generally center-right, in contrast to the larger and more ideological Park Foundation.12

Political Activism

Anti-Natural Gas Initiatives

Adelaide Park Gomer took the remnant Park Foundation in a far-left direction, with a focus on opposition to natural gas exploration by hydraulic fracturing. From 2009 to 2014, the Park Foundation under Park Gomer contributed at least $6 million explicitly to natural gas exploration opposition.13

Park Foundation’s anti-fracking efforts focus on a handful of areas: funding progressive media, researchers opposed to gas exploration, and advocacy groups that push the anti-fracking message. Park funds numerous environmentalist-aligned progressive media outlets, including the Center for Public Integrity, the Foundation for National Progress (publisher of Mother Jones), and Grist Magazine.14

The Park Foundation supports the advocacy efforts of the broader environmentalist movement, with an emphasis on organizations constituting the green radical fringe. Greenpeace reportedly received $60,000 from Park for “opposition research.”15 The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, characterized by a federal judge as “pirates” for their lawless activity on the high seas, received $50,000 from Park in 2014.16 Earthworks, an environmentalist group which spread a claim that natural gas exploration was analogous to rape, also received Park funding.17

The Park Foundation was the linchpin in funding the effort to prohibit expanded gas exploration in the state of New York. Through the Sustainable Markets Foundation, recipient of at least $637,000 in Park Foundation contributions, the group provided support to anti-fracking activists and legislators in the state.18

The Park Foundation funds researchers at Cornell University who have attacked gas drilling in their research and writing.19 The foundation also provided financial support to projects associated with Ithaca College professor Sandra Steingraber, who also cofounded the activist group New Yorkers Against Fracking.20 Energy industry sources noted that Park-funded liberal partisan press and researchers served as principal sources for New York Times reporting on the natural gas industry.21

Other Initiatives

The Park Foundation funds progressive organizations and efforts outside of the natural gas debate as well. Common Cause, a liberal-aligned campaign finance group, has received funding from Park and gave Adelaide Park Gomer an award in 2011.19 A nonprofit associated with progressive documentary production company Brave New Films received a grant from Park for an anti-Afghanistan War project.22 Brave New Films also received Park funding for a gun control-related effort.23

In 2013, Park donated to Free Speech for People, a left-of-center political outfit determined to overturn the Supreme Court ruling in the 2010 Citizens United decision, which ruled certain restrictions on political speech unconstitutional.24

Park additionally gave $500,000 to support Moyers and Company, the media production outlet for progressive journalist Bill Moyers, formerly President Lyndon Johnson’s White House Press Secretary.23

The foundation funds scholarship programs at North Carolina State University and Ithaca College. Park spends about $6.5 million on scholarships annually.25

Between 2016 and 2021, the Park Foundation gave $150,000 in grants to the Voter Registration Project, which has been accused of illegally launching voter registration drives intended to help the Democratic Party. The Voter Participation Center in 2020 coordinated with Democratic consultants to launch a campaign to selectively register “non-white” voters in swing states to help Democrats win the 2020 presidential election. Under federal law, charities and foundations are forbidden to engage in partisan voter registration drives. According to an August 2023 report by the Capital Research Center, which publishes the Influence Watch website, the Voter Participation Center’s “Everybody Votes” campaign is estimated to have won Joe Biden 1 million to 2.7 million new votes across eight swing states in 2020. If the state-by-state estimated vote total projections by the Democratic consultants held true, Joe Biden would have received more votes than his victory margins in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. 26 In 2023, the Park Foundation gave another $150,000. 27

In 2023, the Park Foundation gave $150,000 to Accelerate Change, a left-of-center media nonprofit that works to develop left-of-center media. 27

In 2023, the Park Foundation gave $150,000 to the Advancement Project, a racial agitation group that among other things supports removing police from schools. 27 The group also claims that 4.6 million convicted felons are blocked from voting, that 85 percent of school police assault victims are Black, and that 400 unarmed people have been killed by police in traffic stops over the past five years. 28

In 2023, the Park Foundation gave $150,000 to the Amalgamated Charitable Foundation, a donor-advised fund that was spun off from the Service Employees International Union-owned Amalgamated Bank. 27

In 2023, the Park Foundation gave $275,000 to American University. 27

In 2023, the Park Foundation gave $125,000 to As You Sow, a left-of-center shareholder advocacy group that demands corporations implement business practices that promote left-of-center viewpoints on human rights and the environment. 27

In 2023, the Park Foundation gave $150,000 to the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund. 27 In February 2025, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund signed on to a statement demanding that New York State oppose President Donald Trump and his deportations of illegal immigrants, efforts to get rid of far-left “diversity, equity, and inclusion” federal government mandates, and shrink of the size and scope of the federal government. 29

People

Rachel Leon is the executive director of the Park Foundation. Prior to joining Park, she was the executive director of the Environmental Grantmakers Association. Before that, she worked at the JEHT Foundation and was the executive director for New York Common Cause.  37

Jon M. Jensen is the former executive director for the Park Foundation. Prior to his time with Park, Jensen served at a few left-leaning groups, including the Pew Conservation Scholars Program, Pew Charitable Trusts, and the Wildlife Preservation Trust International.38

Adelaide Park Gomer, the daughter of Roy H. Park, Sr., also plays an instrumental role in the Park Foundation. She serves as the foundation’s president and is an ardent opponent of natural gas drilling through hydraulic fracturing. In 2013, the Albany-based Democrat & Chronicle reported that Gomer “boasted of funding an ‘army of courageous individuals and (non-governmental organizations)’ to fight fracking in New York.”18 Park Gomer reportedly heated her home with natural gas at least as recently as 2012, after the Park Foundation began its anti-fracking campaigns.39

Gomer regularly donates to left-wing and left-of-center politicians. In recent years, she has given funds to former U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) and Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), a self-described democratic socialist. In 2015, she donated $10,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. In 2016 and 2015, Gomer gave $1,000 in each year to End Citizens United. 40 Park Gomer also backed far-left Democrat Zephyr Teachout in the 2014 New York gubernatorial primary.41
