Black Lives Matter’s national organization doled out just over $30 million — 33% of the nearly $90 million it received in public donations from 2020 to 2022 — to charitable foundations, public filings show.
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, an Oakland, California-based non-profit, gave away the $30,498,722 in grants to black, trans and anti-police non-profits in the fiscal years for 2020 and 2021, according to two federal filings which cover the periods from July 1 2020 to June 30, 2022.
That total includes the $4.5 million the group doled out last year to non-profits run by the movement’s own supporters and friends — even as BLMGNF registered losses of more than $8.5 million last year, its latest public filings for the fiscal year 2021 show.
The group also gave a grant to one of its harshest former critics, paying out $400,000 to the Tamir Rice Foundation.
