The Daily Signal obtained the 2013-2014 annual report for Planned Parenthood of Southern New England—an affiliate of the national organization that operates in Connecticut and Rhode Island—which lists companies who have contributed to the organization.
Planned Parenthood is in the midst of a controversy following the release of seven videos by the Center for Medical Progress showing senior executives of the organization discussing the sale of fetal organs at affiliates of the nation’s largest abortion provider. Planned Parenthood has denied any wrongdoing.
Profiting from the sale of fetal organs is a federal felony in the United States.
Planned Parenthood of Southern New England lists the following corporations as having donated to them in fiscal year 2014:
PACESETTER ($10,000 – 24,999)
Goldman Sachs Gives
Pfizer Foundation
GROUNDBREAKER ($5,000 – 9,999)

The Daily Signal reached out to each company to ask about the donation. The Tug Hollow Corporation and High End Landscape LLC could not be reached for comment.
A representative for UPS said an “internal review” didn’t show Planned Parenthood as an organization that had received a grant from them.
A spokeswoman for Chace Ruttenberg & Freedman, LLP denied that the firm had donated to Planned Parenthood.
According to a representative for Agniel Commodities, LLC, “the ownership” of the company holds a “favorable” view of the work of Planned Parenthood.
A spokesman for Goodcopy told The Daily Signal that the company contributes to all the non-profits that they have as clients and that Planned Parenthood “does a good service” to the community.
Asked if he would continue his relationship with Planned Parenthood, he said, “I don’t get involved in politics.”
Working Assets and HMSDesign did not return The Daily Signal’s request for comment, but both highlight their donations to Planned Parenthood on their websites.
