U.S.'s Biggest Christian Charity

Reportedly Channeled $56.1 Million to Purported Hate Groups

https://www.newsweek.com/biggest-christian-charity-funding-hate-groups-1370055?fbclid=IwAR0BUFgAgNXMVYdk1DJosZCs0sY3-59rtQNv-l3sF2JFvxYkiMV7nJrICh0

National Christian Foundation, which identifies itself as the largest Christian grant maker and one of the largest donor-advised funds in the nation, has served as a vehicle for individuals trying to anonymously send money.

Donor-advised funds allow individuals sending the tax deductible contributions to remain anonymous from the IRS and instruct where they want the payments to be sent. For those donating via NCF, this meant sending money to 23 organizations that the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled hate groups. Most of the hate organizations that received money from the NCF opposed LGBT rights. The report also found that the NCF donated to anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant organizations.

Organizations receiving the most funds from NCF included the Alliance Defending Freedom, which has advocated for sterilizing transgender individuals, and the Family Research Council, which has advocated conversion therapy. Members of the Family Research Council including Tony Perkins, the organization's president, have sought to link pedophilia and homosexuality.

These evil people just have a christian facade. I always thought those people in the middle of the country were over cooked in their fake christian crap. They still have their mindless herd. I am glad a high percentage of people do NOT got to church to be BRAIN WASHED.....THE GOOD PEOPLE ARE THE ONES WHO CARE.....

Back in the mid-80s, I stopped supporting the Salvation Army, when I discovered to my horror that they cut ties with and refused to assist or fund, any charity that dealt with HIV/AIDS care due to their homophobic positions. I was told, "Well, we are a christian charity."
