U.S. Presence
Philanthropy
Foundations are matched to a person by name, not by trustee records — so a same-surname family foundation can land here in error. Every entity below links to its full IRS filing; if one doesn’t belong, tell us at hello@skylarkcreations.com and we’ll pull it.
Political Contributions
We’re not showing contributions here, because we can’t prove they’re this person’s. We match federal contributions by name only, and this record includes donations dated before John Bicket was old enough to give — so some or all of it belongs to someone with the same name. The FEC’s own records are public and unchanged; it’s our matching we don’t trust, so we’re withholding it rather than publishing a number we can’t stand behind.
