I reviewed the 990-PF IRS forms for the Sapling Foundation that TED used to sit under, before it moved to a new foundation in July 2019. A lot of funding to the Foundation was provided by major names in tech, which explains the controversial talks it promotes. TED also donates to Acumen Fund, OneWorld Health, and PATH. Acumen is founded by the current TED curator's wife. She remains as CEO of the fund, where Soros' daughter also is a board member.
The current curator of TED and his wife are also members of the Edge Foundation. Bezos, Abrahmovic, and Gates are also in the Foundation. The Edge Foundation is founded and managed by John Brockman, who is supposedly connected to Epstein. This article dives deeper into this connection.
