🚨SCOOP @Sludge: America's largest charity, Fidelity Investments-linked @FidelityChrtbl, has given at least $100,000 to the nonprofit behind major white nationalist publication American Renaissance since 2015. readsludge.com/2019/11/22/nat…
The donations began shortly after white nationalist Dylan Roof, directly inspired by American Renaissance’s “black-on-white crime myth, massacred nine Black churchgoers.

We won’t know how much Fidelity Charitable gave this year until late next year.

After my previous reporting of this nature, @AmalgFoundation launched the Hate Is Not Charitable Coalition of philanthropists against funding hate, which is now nearly 80 groups strong. amalgamatedfoundation.org/hate-is-not-ch…
.@ColorOfChange started a petition urging the big donor-advised funds I identified to stop funding hate groups. act.colorofchange.org/sign/stop-fund…
They’re also part of large coalition fighting online hate, @changeterms.

Please get plugged into these networks. Donate to Color of Change and other groups trying to save lives.
Please also consider giving to @Sludge—we are in a tight financial situation & hope we don’t have to stop the reporting we are doing.

@Sludge Because some folks are confused about how DAFs work, I made a major update to the story explaining this and quoting from Fidelity Charitable's policies. readsludge.com/2019/11/22/nat…
