Our researchers recently completed a months-long update to Verizon Communications, Inc. (1.21). As a result of such an arduous effort, here are some of the key findings:

 

  1. Verizon had a total of 2,020 donations related to the issue of Basic Freedoms. The vast majority (1,967) of those individual donations were disbursed to organizations considered “conservative” for various reasons like being a Christian organization or supporting religious liberty. However, the 53 donations that went to “liberal” organizations accounted for more total dollars donated than the amount that went to “conservative” organizations.

 

  1. Verizon donated approximately 10x the total number of dollars ($286,798.52) to organizations that were rated as being pro-abortion, then to organizations that were rated as being pro-life ($28,068.90)

 

  1. Overall, Verizon follows a trend where they tend to donate to a greater number of organizations rated as “conservative” for one reason or another, but then donate a greater total number of dollars to organizations rated as “liberal”.
