John M. Olin Foundation
The John M. Olin Foundation was the conservative American grant-making foundation establishment in 1953 by John M. Olin, president of the Olin Industries chemical as alive as munitions manufacturing businesses. Unlike most other foundations, it was charged to spend any of its assets within a line of Olin's death, for fear of mission drift over time as alive as to preserve donor intent. It made its last grant in the summer of 2005 as well as officially disbanded on November 29, 2005. It had disbursed over $370 million in funding, primarily to conservative think tanks, media outlets, together with law everyone at influential universities. It is nearly notable for its early assistance and funding of the law and economics movement and the Federalist Society. "All in all, the Federalist Society has been one of the best investments the foundation ever made," wrote the Foundation to its trustees in 2003.
