Report: Taxpayers Funding $230 Million In Federal Grants Tied To 'Intersectionality'
Authored by AG News Staff via American Greatness,
The federal government has awarded about $230 million to programs referencing "intersectionality," with much of the funding originating during the Biden administration, according to a new report from two policy groups.
The Defense of Freedom Institute and Legal Insurrection Foundation identified 249 federal assistance records that used the term "intersectionality," an ideological framework that examines race, sex, class and other characteristics in assessing discrimination and privilege.
According to the report, about $140 million has been spent, while another $90 million remains obligated. Funding surged during former President Joe Biden's administration, peaking at $80.1 million in 2023, before declining under President Donald Trump.
Some grants remain active through 2030, and roughly 100 of the 249 awards identified by researchers appear to be ongoing.
"Amazingly, we have discovered that the federal government has been funding the Intersectionality movement," William Jacobson, founder of the Legal Insurrection Foundation and a Cornell Law School professor, told the New York Post. "This has to stop."
The grants encompass projects ranging from medical research to universities, museums and community programs. In some cases, intersectionality was one component of research receiving federal support rather than the primary purpose of the grant.
Among the awards highlighted was nearly $11 million to the New Hampshire Department of Health for cancer prevention and control programs. The program targeted populations experiencing health disparities, including what it described as an "intersectionality of gender and income inequality."
Other examples included $8.16 million to New York University for a diabetes equity research center and $14.25 million to Drexel University for a program intended to increase diversity among faculty studying health disparities.
The report's authors warn that embedding intersectionality into federal programs could encourage recipients to make decisions based on race and other protected characteristics while disguising those practices in academic terminology.
"This report shows just how deeply intersectional ideology has become embedded in the federal grant-making apparatus," Defense of Freedom Institute President Robert Eitel said.

Intersectionality is an academic framework used to analyze overlapping identities like race and sex to assess privilege. This report identifies 249 federal records where this specific terminology was used to direct taxpayer funds.
Christian Perspective
This spending promotes a man made hierarchy of victimhood that contradicts the biblical truth of individual accountability before God. By focusing on identity politics, the state subverts the natural order and the biological reality of the sexes. It replaces the Christian call to love one's neighbor with a secular obsession with group grievances.
Implications
The normalization of this ideology in federal grants encourages institutions to make decisions based on race rather than merit or truth. This undermines the stability of the traditional family and the biological foundations of society. It effectively uses taxpayer money to fund the erosion of Western civilization.
Broader Trends
This represents a coordinated effort by globalist elites to implement DEI initiatives through the federal bureaucracy. It is a component of the broader movement to replace traditional American values with a fragmented, identity based social structure. Such policies are designed to weaken the cohesive strength of the nation.
Takeaway
Americans must demand an end to the funding of ideological subversion through the federal grant system. We must uphold the biological reality of sex and the importance of merit to protect our national integrity. Supporting America First leadership is essential to reclaiming our institutions from these corrosive academic frameworks.
