Could you ask Mr. Biddle to obtain similar funding records for the various "reform" advocacy groups?
Inquiring minds want to know!
I've never met the gentleman. Maybe you could ask him yourself. I know where you're going: Gates Foundation, right? Probably. No one's spanky clean.
If you want, Gates provides an open database on all of its grants at http://www.gatesfoundation.org/grants/Pages/search.aspx. I have also written about Gates' school reform efforts at http://rishawnbiddle.org/RRB/otherpubs/reform_minded_money_gates_foundation.pdf. And I talk plenty about how reformers dole out cash.
As far as money is concerned: The issue isn't whether anyone gets money, but what is done with it. Also, the way the money is gotten by the those who hand it out is important. Given that the NEA and AFT derive much of their funds from the public coffers (especially agency fees that non-member teachers are forced to pay) -- whereas Gates and others derive their dollars from donors who also made their money solely from the private sector -- it is important to note how the union uses those dollars to preserve their influence.
