Call it the Urban De-development Fund: Black Lives Matter gets $100 million to set more(T)

The black nationalist terrorists of Black Lives Matter are about to get a huge injection of left-wing cash to help them kill more cops and burn more businesses to the ground.

(My takedown of BLM appeared a few months ago in American Thinker.)

Underwriting this mayhem are the Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy which are creating something they call the Black-Led Movement Fund (BLMF), a six-year pooled donor campaign that seeks to generate $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives coalition.

Ford Foundation isn't Ford Motor Company but they just might get some of their money from FMC. Sadly, a whole bunch of these foundations are complicit in funding the downfall of many things. Not sure how far from their namesakes they've come. Pretty sure they're run by radical left wing extremists these days. I wonder if the clintoon crime foundation is kickin' in any cash.

SEEKS TO is a lot different than what the headline says.

A New President who smashes BLM would make the point moot

Never underestimate the power of the deceivers. Somebody is funneling them money. You know, travel expenses and supplies. Same particular individuals turning up all over the country at “events”.

ABOUT BOREALIS


Magui Rubalcava Shulman

President

Borealis Philanthropy was founded by Magui Rubalcava Shulman, a seasoned professional with 22 years experience in local and national philanthropy and close to 15 years in senior leadership with two philanthropic intermediaries. Magui is passionate about the role of intermediaries in helping funders be more effective.

Most recently, Magui led the Four Freedoms Fund, the major driver of immigration reform funding and policy advocacy on behalf of immigrants in the U.S., raising over $90 million in 8 years and quadrupling the size of the Fund from $4 million to over $16 million a year in 2014. Prior to that, she also helped launch and lead the Funders Collaborative for Strong Latino Communities, engaging over 100 local, national and transnational funders in the project (and exceeding the project’s $16.5 million fundraising goal in three and a half years) to build the capacity of Latino nonprofit organizations in the U.S. and Latin America. Magui’s earlier experience includes working with the New York Community Trust, Otto Bremer Foundation and the General Mills Foundation. In 2003, Magui was honored as a co-recipient of the Council on Foundations’ Robert W. Scrivner Award for Creative Grantmaking.

Magui received her graduate degree from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs and undergraduate degree from the University of California, San Diego. She also studied at Keski-Suomen Opisto in Suolahti, Finland.

The daughter of Mexican immigrants, Magui grew up in Los Angeles and currently lives in Minneapolis with her husband and three kids.

you’re right. Soros could fund the 100m himself over those years.

But we have to remember that our side is not BROKE and not getting money from some powerful people too.

The co owner of paypal, I think, is a Trump supporter, and contrary to popular belief there are some very rich fellows who like to remain anonymous that support Trump.

And then there’s our candidate, who’s worth 12 BILLION!! :)

Find out who finances thr Ford foundation. They have to disclose donors. Explain to donors why their businesses will be avoided.

The BLM movement is an international organization with strong ties to Hamas - all of the usual Foundations and Societies have been complicit in making the US into a homogeneous, fair state for decades and are just now being seen for what they really are - destroyers of America, the Nation.

All these Foundations and Societies (including Clinton and Soros led ones - johnny-come-latelies) work together for the common shared goal of making the US an area for their personal use while regulating everyone else to tiny vertical enclaves which can only be left by permit and permission - a goal they openly talked about before the internet existed.

Ford Foundation has been controlled by left wing morons for generations.

Many of these big foundations move far from their founders’ wishes and intentions. Leftists love to infiltrate and seize institutions from within. Ford, Rockefeller, MacArthur, Pew, etc. all taken over by leftists....

All foundations should be abolished. They are tax dodges for the wealthy and support Leftist movements that hurt the nation.They are discriminatory because only the rich can establish foundations, so the Middle Class and the poor can’t get the same tax breaks that the rich can in this “rigged system.”

Discover the funders of our destruction:

"The DiscoverTheNetworks database currently identifies and profiles more than 125 major foundations whose political and philanthropic orientations are generally leftist, and whose combined assets exceed $100 billion. Some of the foundations described in this section are so large that they have single-handedly shaped entire cultural and political movements. (See, for example, the Ford Foundation's role in underwriting The Open Borders Lobby."

"Several of the massive, tax-exempt entities profiled in this section -- most notably the Tides Center, the Liberty Hill Foundation, and the Proteus Fund -- are pass-through operations designed to mask the relationship between donor and gift. That is, they take money from donors who specify the precise groups and causes for which they want it earmarked, and in turn funnel that money to those recipients, allowing the donors avoid being publicly associated with the groups being funded. The funds transacted in this manner are called donor-advised funds. (The JEHT Foundation, which closed its doors permanently in 2009, was yet another pass-through.)"

"As of 2003, America's top left-leaning foundations held $51 billion more in assets than their conservative counterparts (those that consistently funded groups promoting individual rights, a pro-market stance, and limited government). Moreover, the leftist foundations made grants whose combined value was 26 times greater than all the grants awarded by their conservative counterparts. With many billions of dollars at their disposal, the foundations profiled in this section of DiscoverTheNetworks are positioned to permanently shift America's political dialogue to the left through their grant-making power. Leftist activists commonly hold key positions on the staffs and governing boards of these foundations, and often they serve on multiple boards."
