The foundation also provides financial assistance to the Mountain States Legal Foundation, the Pacific Legal Foundation and the Landmark Legal Foundation, legal organizations that fight to safeguard individual liberties, free enterprise and property rights from government regulation and control.

 Coors and the Homophobes: The Adventure Continues -- Critics Call New Foundation "Smoke and Mirrors"
This time the center of attention is the recently-hatched Castle Rock Foundation, controlled by the Coors family and a major contributor to homophobic causes--and whose very existence, critics charge, is an attempt to separate the Coors name from the family's support of the radical right.
According to the Adolph Coors Foundation's 1994 annual report, the foundation was founded in 1973 with funds from the Adolph Coors Jr.
Since Castle Rock was formed, it has taken over donating to the radical right while the Coors Foundation's grants have been confined to such noncontroversial recipients as the Denver Museum of Natural History and the University of Colorado Foundation.
