Marathon Oil, which runs a major oil refinery in Garyville, La., pledged $250,000 to the foundation and gave $10,000 to Jindal's campaign committee, the report said. Meanwhile, Marathon subsidiaries have been paid $5.2 million in state funds, the report found.

AT&T has given at least $250,000 to the Jindal foundation while contributing $10,000 since 2007 to Bobby Jindal's political campaigns, the report said. Louisiana has paid AT&T about $22 million since 2008.

Other big donors to both the foundation and the governor's campaigns were Acadian Ambulance, D&J Construction, State Farm, BlueCross BlueShield of Louisiana, Northrop Grumman, Wal-Mart and Dow Chemical.
