Irene Hirano Inouye

Irene Hirano Inouye (born October 28, 1948), is Chair of the Ford Foundation, a liberal, leftwing foundation. She was elected Chair in May 2010, the 10th board chair in the foundation’s 75-year history. The foundation is a tax-exempt 501c organization headquartered in New York City. Inouye also serves as President of the U.S.-Japan Council based in Washington, D.C.. She previously served as CEO of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles and Executive Director of T.H.E. Clinic, a not-for-profit community health facility serving low and moderate income women and families.

Irene married powerful Democrat Senator from Hawaii Daniel Inouye in 2008.

Inouye joined the Ford Foundation in 2006 as a Trustee. The organization is one of the largest foundations in the world with over $10 billion in assets. Founded in 1936, it donates to thousands of organizations worldwide but has donated largely to leftist groups. They are truly a money hub for far-left, radical liberal groups.

In 2010 alone, it allocated large contributions to George Soros-backed organizations such as Center for American Progress ($1,000,000) and Media Matters for America ($500,000), who recently "declared war" on Fox News. Other notable far-left groups it donated to include New Israeli Fund ($5,000,000), Astraea Foundation ($2,300,000), Global Rights ($2,000,000) and Amnesty International ($1,000,000).
