Black Lives Matter Is Funded by These 18 American Brands

Fact checked
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is funded by these 18 corporations

Throughout the last two years, cities and towns across America have been ripped apart by violent Black Lives Matter (BLM) terrorists.

BLM is a far-left organization founded by “trained Marxists,” which aims to replace the nuclear family with a “village,” and wants to abolish police, prisons, and courts of law.

Despite the radical goals of BLM, some of America’s biggest corporations have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the group.

Massive brands, including Microsoft, Amazon Nabisco, Airbnb, Gatorade, and the Atlantic and warner record labels, have bankrolled the organization with huge donations.

In August last year, during an interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham, President Donald Trump called the heads of large corporations “weak” for donating to BLM.

The president slammed the group’s Marxist idealogy and argued that its goals are bad for the black community.

Dailysignal.com reports: At least 18 companies have donated or pledged to donate money to the BLM Global Network Foundation, according to a list compiled by the Washington-based Capital Research Center, which monitors nonprofits and charities. Another seven companies have not been clear which Black Lives Matter entity they chose for contributions.

Thousand Currents has said that all donations filtered through it, corporate and otherwise, “are received as restricted donations to support the activities of BLM.”

The Daily Signal contacted spokespersons for all the companies mentioned in this report several times over the course of a week, seeking comment about their financial support for the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. 

The Daily Signal asked whether the companies supported that organization’s stated beliefs and goals, which extend well beyond advocating racial equality and opposing police brutality. 

Several companies state merely that they are giving to “Black Lives Matter,” without specifying which organization. The BLM Global Network Foundation likely is the recipient, given its prominence, but that isn’t always clear in an announcement. 

It also is possible that, similar to the tech giant Cisco, other companies gave to the Black Lives Matter cause through donations to traditional civil rights groups such as the NAACP and the Urban League. 

A growing roster of corporations has issued press releases, memos, and tweets vowing financial support for “Black Lives Matter,” linking directly to or using the Twitter handle of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Here are 18 of them, plus some examples of ambiguous giving.

1. DoorDash

DoorDash Inc., which delivers prepared food, gave $500,000 to the organization. In an email to The Daily Signal, DoorDash spokesperson Liz Jarvis-Shean wrote:

In partnership with our Black@DoorDash Employee Resource Group (ERG), DoorDash pledged a total of $1 million in donations, with $500,000 going to Black Lives Matter via the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation and $500,000 to create a fund to be directed by the Black@DoorDash ERG towards state and local organizations. 

Our goal with these donations and the other actions we announced is to stand with our employees and community members to fight injustice, inequality and discrimination and to support organizations that are working to root out structural and systemic racism and providing local community development, mentorship, education and entrepreneurship programs to support Black communities across the country.

2. Deckers

“Deckers as a company is standing together in solidarity to fight for equality,” Deckers Brands said in an email to The Daily Signal. 

“To show immediate support, we are donating a total of $500,000 to the following organizations,” the clothing company said, listing seven organizations, including “Black Lives Matter Foundation,” which it said “builds power to bring justice, healing, and freedom to Black people across the globe.”

Although a smaller organization called the Black Lives Matter Foundation exists, as does another called Movement for Black Lives, a blog post from the Deckers brand Ugg links to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. That post uses language similar to the email from Deckers to The Daily Signal. 

3. Amazon

Amazon linked to the BLM Global Network Foundation in a press release June 9, identifying it as among 12 groups that would get a total of $10 million from the online retail giant. Amazon announced:

As part of that effort, Amazon will donate a total of $10 million to organizations that are working to bring about social justice and improve the lives of Black and African Americans. Recipients—selected with the help of Amazon’s Black Employee Network (BEN)—include groups focused on combating systemic racism through the legal system as well as those dedicated to expanding educational and economic opportunities for Black communities.

4. Gatorade

Gatorade, the sports drink maker, identified the BLM Global Network Foundation as being among groups benefiting from a $500,000 donation. 

5. Microsoft

Microsoft Corp. announced June 5 that it would donate $250,000 to the “Black Lives Matter Foundation,” but the computer and technology giant linked to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. 

Microsoft also named five other civil rights organizations with whom it would “deepen our engagement” by donating $250,000 apiece. 

6. Glossier

Glossier, a skin care and makeup company, said in a May 30 press release that it would divide $500,000 among five organizations, including “Black Lives Matter,” and linked to the BLM Global Network Foundation’s website.  

7. 23andMe

23andMe CEO Anne Wojcicki announced June 2 that the biotech company and its employees would donate to “Black Lives Matter” and linked to the BLM Global Network Foundation. 

8.  Airbnb

Airbnb Inc. announced on Twitter that the short-term lodging company was splitting a $500,000 donation between the NAACP and the “@Blklivesmatter Foundation,” using the organization’s Twitter handle

9.  Unilever

Two of London-based Unilever’s personal hygiene brands, Axe and Degree, pledged a total of $350,000 to the BLM Global Network Foundation.

10. Bungie

Bungie Inc. didn’t provide a dollar amount, but the video game developer said it would make “financial contributions” to six organizations and linked to the BLM Global Network Foundation. 

11. Nabisco

Ritz, the cracker brand from snack manufacturer Nabisco, announced June 4 that it and sister brands were donating $500,000 to the NAACP and to the BLM Global Network Foundation. 

12. Dropbox

13. Fitbit

Fitbit Inc., the maker of health and fitness trackers, tagged the BLM Global Network Foundation as a recipient of donations, but didn’t say how much. 

14. Devolver Digital

Individual employees of Devolver Digital Inc. donated $65,000 to the BLM Global Network Foundation as of June 2 through the video game publisher’s ActBlue online giving account. 

15. Skillshare

Skillshare CEO Matt Cooper, in an online message June 1, said the online learning company was “donating to the following organizations” and referred to the “official #BlackLivesMatter Global Network,” which it said “builds power to bring justice, freedom, and space for imagination and innovation to Black people.

Skillshare was among the few businesses to specifically name the network foundation.

 16. Square Enix

Square Enix, a game developer, announced that it was giving $250,000 to the NAACP and Black Lives Matter, linking to the BLM Global Network Foundation.

17. Thatgamecompany

In one tweet, thatgamecompany announced plans to give a total of $20,000 to both the NAACP and Black Lives Matter. In a follow-up, the video game developer linked to the BLM Global Network Foundation. 

18. Tinder

Tinder Inc., the online dating network, announced that it was donating and provided a link to the BLM Global Network Foundation. 

Ambiguous Giving

The California-based tech firm Cisco identifies @Blklivesmatter, the Twitter handle for the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, as among recipients of $5 million in donations. 

But a Cisco spokesperson says the company isn’t contributing to that main group.  

Cisco’s Robyn Blum told The Daily Signal in an email: 

With our recently announced $5M donation, we are pleased to be able to pledge funds to these organizations:

• Equal Justice Initiative–a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons.

• The NAACP Legal Defense Fund–a premier civil rights law organization fighting for racial justice through litigation, advocacy, & public education.

• Color Of Change–America’s largest online racial justice organization.

Contacted again by The Daily Signal with reference to that tweet, Blum said the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation was not among recipients of Cisco’s donations. 

The tech company Intel, in a May 31 memo from CEO Bob Swan, announced that the business would donate “$1 million in support of efforts to address social injustice and anti-racism across various nonprofits and community organizations.” 

“I also encourage employees to consider donating to organizations focused on equity and social justice, including the Black Lives Matter Foundation, the Center for Policing Equity and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, all of which are eligible for Intel’s Donation Matching Program,” Swan said. 

However, the Intel CEO’s memo didn’t provide a link to a Black Lives Matter group. Nor did it specify which foundation—the larger and more prominent BLM Global Network Foundation or the smaller Black Lives Matter Foundation. 

The Daily Signal sought clarification from Intel, but it did not respond before publication of this report. 

The Pokemon Co. is another example of a company that didn’t specify which organization, but said it was donating $100,000 to Black Lives Matter. 

Atlantic Records announced that it “will be contributing to Black Lives Matter and other organizations that are doing crucial work to combat injustice.” But the legendary record company didn’t specify whether it was donating to the BLM Global Network Foundation and didn’t respond to multiple inquiries. 

Similarly, Warner Records announced that it would contribute “to Black Lives Matter and other organizations that are doing crucial work to combat racial injustice.” 

Discord, a communications company, announced that it is donating to the “Black Lives Matter movement.” It did not respond to inquiries from The Daily Signal about the specific organization. 

Pusheen, the company behind the cartoon cat of the same name, called on fans and followers to join it in donating to Black Lives Matter among other organizations, but didn’t specify which BLM entity. 

Ubisoft also said that it was contributing $100,000 to both the NAACP and Black Lives Matter, without specifying which organization or affiliate.

  1. Gonna take action? How about they start with getting jobs, stop their killings, robbing, raping, support your kids, pay back all the welfare you scammed, quit cheating on you taxes, buy car insurance and thousands more things that you low mentality savages do? You just cannot live in a civilized society because you have proven that for hundreds of years.

  2. Divide from within to conquer from without .How many if them are owned or controlled by white rich men Englush men All of it is from the Frankfurt School which I believe us really a device to create chaos in order to facilitate a new world totalitarianism ,like ancient t Egypt resurrected But with white men as Phatoah .Look after Alexander conquered egypt originally all the Pharaohs were Greek descendants right down to Cleopatra who was really the 7th. And dont forget her and Caesar had a son a d exactly where that lineage is today, we just do not know .But I’ll bet ” they ” do .

  3. BLM should know that wishful thinking does not constitute fact. As in their name for instance.

  4. Why are most of these donations $500k? Sounds like an effort of collusion or could be Gates idea of Philanthropy which is just Tax Free Investment or as he likes to call it Philanthrocapitalism.

  5. Why would any Black leadership structure willfully move to solve the Race issue, when it means an end to their $5 million a year income and a loss of so much power?

    The Spanish Inquisition was formed in 1478 to eliminate the Muslim Religion in Spain; after the Arabs nearly conquered Spain. That task was ruthlessly applied and completed by 1600. The wealth and the holdings of the people convicted was confiscated by the Church. Not surprisingly, the Inquisition was an incredible source of wealth for the church. And because of that, the Inquisition continued to “find” heretics within their own population in Spain and the New World until it was eventually closed down 1834 in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars.

    The solution to the Race issue is simply to move more of the Black population into the Economic Middle Class through Education.

    • The inquisition needed to root out the Marano jews who betrayed the Spanish people to the Arabs in the first place. Just like jews are doing to white people all over the world now.

      • Howdy Jimmy Scott. I disagree.
        Did you forget about the Spanish pogrom of 707, where Jews were forced into slave labor and their women condemned to servitude? That was about 4 years before the Arabs first invaded Spain. From the very beginning of the Dark Ages all the way into the 20th Century, Jews were not allowed to own Real Estate and were periodically exposed to pogroms where women and children were either enslaved or murdered.

        You don’t need to take a Cultural Anthropology class to predict what would happen to the Jewish Culture. The Jews learned that the only practical way they could maintain some semblance of safety and wealth was through EDUCATION in a profession that would allow them to quickly leave, with all their wealth in their pockets, and move into another safer area. Dentists (barbers), doctors, accountants, intermediators in trade, artists, well diggers, and especially Bankers (since Christian doctrine did not allow a lender to charge interest).

        As a result, the Jewish Culture developed characteristics that had minimal loyalty to a particular country. Mind you, that does not mean that all Jews had that characteristic. I’m sure there are medal of honor awards (or the like) that have been issued to many Jews in many countries. Jews are a people that Europe made them. Just like the American Black Culture is now being made by the welfare and food stamp “minimal income” policies of the Democrat Party. By providing the Black community with just enough of an income to keep them out of college, the Democrat Party maintains a stranglehold on the Black voting block while they import millions of more uneducated workers to pick their grapes, clean their houses, and keep wages low.

        The inquisition was the 1478 “cleanup process” of the Reconquista which started in 718 and ended in 1492. During the Reconquista there were Spanish rulers who saw the financial benefit of the Jews, and when they died and were replaced by religious zealots, as in the Massacre of 1391 (well before the inquisition), the pogroms returned. No, the inquisition was focused on the Muslims, and when they were gone the inquisition targeted the Jews, and when they were gone the inquisition targeted imaginary heretics and witches. The inquisition only lost power when Spain needed the heretic British to push the French out of Spain during the Peninsular War. Fearful of their return to power, the Spanish government banished the inquisition in 1834.

        While we fought in Vietnam, every European country that had a merchant fleet used it to ship supplies and materials from the USSR to NORTH Vietnam. And let’s not forget our close friend Canada as well. So traitorous double dealing, from the perspective of any other culture, has not been limited to the Jewish culture. Everybody is greedy.

        • I agree our ancestors in Europe knew about jews and protected themselves. After jews behavior over the last hundred years in the USA I think we should strip them of all their assets just like Spain and so many other places did out of defense. Deport them all to Israel. Jews behavior causes the pogroms and anyone who thinks different is an idiot.

          • Jews have to be ready to run because they are toxic. Only jews have been run off from every nation that accepts them sooner or later. Blaming jews behavior on whites is tiresome and a lie. Save the pilpul jewboy. I will only make you look like the toxic jew you are.

            Blacks are violent everywhere they are at so blaiming their behavior on whites is stupid as well.

          • What? You think I’m a Jew because I disagree with you? I see now how your twisted logic works. You made a statement that I disagreed with. You said, “The inquisition needed to root out the Marano jews who betrayed the Spanish people to the Arabs”. But since pogroms existed before the Arabs even invaded Spain – you are obviously wrong.

            The inquisition was the 1478 “cleanup process” of the Reconquista which started in 718 and ended in 1492. During the Reconquista there were Spanish rulers who saw the financial benefit of the Jews, and when they died and were replaced by religious zealots, as in the Massacre of 1391 (well before the inquisition), the pogroms returned. No, the inquisition was focused on the Muslims, and when they were gone the inquisition targeted the Jews, and when they were gone the inquisition targeted imaginary heretics and witches. The inquisition only lost power when Spain needed the heretic British to push the French out of Spain during the Peninsular War. Fearful of its return to power, the Spanish government banished the inquisition in 1834.

            Your statement that the Jews betrayed the Spanish was wrong because the Spanish betrayed the Jews long before the Arabs came to Spain. Your statement that the inquisition was needed to root out the Jews was wrong because Spain regularly “got rid” of the Jews with the pogroms. The inquisition was formed only at the end of the Reconquista, who’s purpose was to get rid of the Arabs.

            And lastly you were wrong when your bigotry accused me of being a Jew because I disagreed with you. Clearly you have developed a persona of unsupported hatred for those people. Don’t you realize that the bigotry of the Europeans made the Jews into the powerful people that they are today? That bigotry has forced them to value education and embrace positions of power. Don’t blame them if you haven’t embraced an education and stepped into a position of power yourself.

          • Jews corrupt nations a hundred different ways. Most European nations have had to expel them more than once because they are traitors.

            If you get kicked out of every bar you go to is it likely its the bartenders fault or yours? If every person who lives on a block hates one family who lives on the block who do you think the trouble makers are? Jews have been kicked out over 100 times in recorded history but to hear them tell it they never ever did even one thing to deserve it.

            Jews attack white people who behave even slightly like they do. Your claim they had to put themselves in a position where they never stop attacking white people because of white people is pathetic.

            I think you are a jew because your posts scream of jewish pilpul.

          • I didn’t say “they had to put themselves in a position where they never stop attacking white people”. I said Europeans pushed their culture into having a very high regard of an education. And that placed them into positions of power. That’s not the same as attacking anyone. And no, if every person on a block hated one family on that block, I would carefully draw my own conclusions about them.

            I just looked up the meaning of the word pilpul. You know an awful lot about the intricacies of the Jewish religion. I’ve heard about people who hate their own culture. Are you one of those people who hate themselves so much that they turn on their own people? Maybe the reason you think I’m Jewish is because I stand against bigots like you. Do you think that I’m also Black or Asian because I stand against Racists? You obviously don’t want to solve the problems in America because you are too busy creating them.

            I’m for protecting my country’s Constitution and the Civil Rights of our citizens. I especially believe in the Civil Rights that have been under a direct threat recently. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of peaceful Assembly, ownership of guns, and equal protection under our laws. I guess if you were a politician, you would be threatening our freedom of religion too. But its not likely that you could be a politician. Voters expect politicians to be college graduates. That’s because they also expect them to be able to solve problems, not be one of them. Oh wait. You could be a democrat politician. Your lack of an education, your lack of a basic knowledge of history, and your bigotry make you an equal to Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters.

          • More pilpul from you.

            About ten years ago I realized something was wrong in the USA so I did a lot of reading and came to my current way of thinking. Nothing anyone has ever done has changed my mind. I do not want things to be this way its just how they are.

            White people are under attack in OUR nation. Non whites do not have the right to come here and refuse to assimilate and call white people racists every time they do not get what they want. If this is not stopped whites will become hated minorities in the nation our ancestors founded and built for us.

            I know about jews because I have been smashing them in debates for over a decade. Deporting all the non whites will solve this nations problems. Almost all of them. This is impossible to deny.

            If you are not white this is not your country by any stretch of the imagination. You just want what white people built. If not wanting my kids to become hated minorities in their own nation makes me a racist then that is for sure what I want to be.

            Jews are an ethnic group and Judaism is their religion. I don’t care about their religion I don’t like their anti white behavior.

            If you are a white person something is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with me. Something is wrong with you. You have forgotten the faces of your fathers. Shame on you.

            Lastly. If you believe you are a conservative you could not be more wrong. You are a leftist through and through. There is nothing conservative about changing the demographics of a nation. It is the opposite of that. It is also impossible to argue that if the non whites were not in the USA leftists would be powerless like they were before the non whites got here. If your ideals lead to communism you are a communist. Being too stupid to know it changes nothing. If you answer back you are not a communist I will bust up laughing at how dumb you are. You will once again be unable to refute anything I wrote.

            You will now throw out more pilpul. You are losing this argument.

          • Our discussion is getting the attention of the moderator. Its too bad. I would have liked you to see my comments where I agreed with you and disagreed.

          • I agree to many snowflakes that can’t handle the truth. Once again jews are the censors. The people you are defending hate freedom of speech.

          • Howdy Jimmy Scott. It is true that I have had several of my Race related comments pulled by moderators in the past without any explanation. Curiously, as you have pointed out, my posts are in support of bettering Race relations. I have been wondering if my energies toward fixing the problem, that are directed toward blaming the Democrat Party’s “minimum income” policies and solving it through education, are rubbing the moderators the wrong way.

            In any case, I cannot deny that “someone” definitely hates freedom of speech.

            In any event I respect your willingness to spend the time and discuss this issue with me as far as we were able to do so. I wish you well Sir.

          • While we fought in Vietnam, every European country that had a merchant fleet used it to ship supplies and materials from the USSR to NORTH Vietnam. And let’s not forget our close friend Canada as well. So traitorous double dealing, from the perspective of any other culture, has not been limited to the Jewish culture. Everybody is greedy.

          • Even if I accepted that insane idea, those weren’t Jews on those ships. Aside from the Russians, Chinese, and Polish; They were British, Canadians, Germans, and French sailors putting cash in their pockets. If you were a sailor, would you have agreed to ship supplies to North Vietnam during that war? If you were a sailor, would you have agreed to ship supplies to the Argentinians during the Falkland War?

  6. Almost 100% of these corporations are controlled by jews. I guess its just a coincidence that the group that funds the white privilege conferences that teach our educators that white people are responsible for all of non whites problems are funding hostile blacks. Thanks jews.

  7. Sounds like BLM is a protection racket. I bet they threaten major damage to all those that don’t buy there protection.

  8. Corporations love this. All they have to do is donate some chump change and they have a free pass, even if they use slave labor in China. What would the elites rather you focus on? Racial division or class division? Class division is easy to identify and easy to fix. Racial division is nothing you can do anything about in the short term, but over time great progress has been made, though never noted..

  9. blm as the companies who give them money ain’t marxist they just use blm for business and influence to bribe some fake black misleaders(who among the founders of blm are six black powerful lesbians) atomize society and divide and conquer through identity politics just like lgbt movements and orgs and neutralize blacks for feeling any solidarity with palestinians and care and fight the real socio-economic problems of amerikkka and its black communities economic inequalities structural racism,discriminations,poverty,substandard living and jobs
