While exactly half of the [Fortune 100] corporations appeared to have lobbied the State Department between 2009 and 2012, according to lobbying disclosures from the Center for Responsive Politics, foundation records show 55 of the firms donated to the charity.
Roughly 65 percent of foundation donors among the Fortune 100 also spent money on lobbying the State Department. [...] Just 14 of the 45 companies that did not give to the charity lobbied the agency during that same time. [Washington Examiner]
