ERN’s Largest Donation
ERN’s largest donation to date (that I’m aware of) is a $250,000 gift from the Robertson Foundation. The foundation was started in 1996 by Julian Robertson, the former hedge fund manager of Tiger Management.
Although Tiger Management is no longer around, they still have an active foundation (the Tiger Foundation) funded by Robertson and other former Tiger Management employees.
Below is a summary of education-related donations from the Robertson Foundation and the Tiger Foundation. Notes: only donations over $10k are included. It’s also quite possible I’ve included some donations that are only tangentially related to education, or missed some education-related donations. All information pulled from Guidestar.org.

Google the old man and how he beat N.Y. State out of $26 millon in taxes by hiring consultants to prove he didnt spend more than half his time in New York-he beat the case by one day that was in question when he waited 45 minutes in new jersey before going into the Lincoln Tunnel- so he could cheat the NYC kids out of tax money for schools.
You can link to the decision of the NYS Dept. of Taxation. It's on line.
A first class chiseler.
Why wont Mulgrew cover this? Other than Bloomberg, who is he protecting?
