William H. Regnery II, the heir to a family textile fortune who was known for his quiet but influential support of extreme right-wing causes in the United States, died July 2 at his home in Boca Grande, Fla. He was 80.

A person at the Lemon Bay Funeral Home and Cremation Services in Englewood, Fla., on Saturday confirmed that the funeral home handled arrangements for Mr. Regnery. A cousin told the New York Times that he had cancer.

Cassie Miller, a senior research analyst for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said in an email Saturday that Mr. Regnery’s material contributions helped to build networks of racist activists and a large body of pseudoscientific literature that Mr. Regnery hoped would legitimize his calls to build a White ethnostate.

“Though he usually operated in the background, Regnery was an extremely influential figure in the radical right,” Miller said.

In 2016, an Associated Press review of tax records found that the National Policy Institute, founded by Mr. Regnery, and three other groups at the forefront of the white nationalist movement had registered as charities and raised more than $7.8 million in tax-deductible donations over the previous decade.

The reclusive Mr. Regnery spent much of his life using his family’s money to build the institutional infrastructure that would support the so-called alt-right — an offshoot of conservatism mixing racism, white nationalism, anti-Semitism and populism — and help to propel figures such as Richard Spencer into the spotlight, Miller said.

“Regnery’s real legacy is not what he built, but the immense harm that he caused,” she said.

Spencer tweeted about Mr. Regnery on July 12, saying he “was fortunate to have known him and learned much from him.”

In a 2017 article, <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/aramroston/hes-spent-almost-20-years-funding-the-racist-right-it">BuzzFeed News </a>said Mr. Regnery felt his ideas were redeemed by the candidacy of now former president Donald Trump.

“I think Trump was a legitimatizer,” Mr. Regnery told the publication. White nationalism “went from being conversation you could hold in a bathroom, to the front parlor.”

William Henry Regnery II was born Feb. 25, 1941, in the Chicago area and grew up in the suburb of Hinsdale, Ill., the Times reported. His father worked for the family textile business.

Mr. Regnery attended the University of Pennsylvania and worked for several years for his family’s textile business in Chicago. A cousin told BuzzFeed that during Mr. Regnery’s short tenure as company president, he almost ruined the business and was ousted.

His grandfather was a founding member of the America First Committee, which sought to keep the United States out of World War II. His uncle Henry Regnery founded Regnery Publishing, which continues to publish books by a range of conservative voices, now as an imprint of the Salem Media Group and distributed by Simon & Schuster.

In 2001, Mr. Regnery founded the Charles Martel Society as a nonprofit group. The Southern Poverty Law Center says the organization is named in honor of the man who is credited with “saving Europe” by defeating an invading Muslim force at the Battle of Tours in 734.

The society is the publisher of The Occidental Quarterly, a journal that “unapologetically defends the cultural, ethnic, and racial interests of Western European peoples and examines contemporary political, social, and demographic trends that impact the posterity of Western Civilization,” the SPLC says.

Mr. Regnery’s National Policy Institute was once led by Spencer, but “it appears to no longer be operational,” Miller said.

The institute’s death knell likely came earlier this year when a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/think-tanks-b1b19350bcaf0e532db2d5b057f86170">judge ordered the institute to pay $2.4 million</a> in damages to an Ohio man injured at the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, said Miller.

Mr. Regnery was married twice and had six children. Complete information about survivors was not available.
