(The R Street Institute looks like it is a leftist org.)

The R Street Institute is a public policy think tank based in Washington, D.C., that was spun off from the right-of-center and Chicago-based Heartland Institute in 2012.

However, R Street departs from most free market policy organizations by supporting the implementation of a carbon tax and promoting the expansion of left-leaning labor-union affiliated worker centers.

Left-leaning foundations such as the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Energy Foundation, and the Foundation to Promote Open Society provided 26 percent of R Street’s total contribution and grants revenue between 2012 and 2017 and 71 percent of the organization’s total foundation support during that period. Two of the longest-serving members of the R Street board of directors are the president of the left-of-center Taxpayers for Common Sense and a former official who worked for the Clinton White House and for Clinton Administration HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo.
