As Chick-fil-A expands globally and into more liberal parts of the U.S., the chicken chain plans to change which charities it donates to after years of bad press and protests from the LGBT community.
Beginning next year, Chick-fil-A will move away from its current philanthropic structure, Bisnow has learned. After donating to more than 300 charitable organizations this year, the Atlanta-based fast-food chain will instead focus on three initiatives with one accompanying charity each: education, homelessness and hunger.
"There's no question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are," Chick-fil-A President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Tassopoulos said in an interview with Bisnow. "There are lots of articles and newscasts about Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message."
The new initiative will no longer include donating to organizations like the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Paul Anderson Youth Home, Chick-fil-A says, all of which sparked criticism in the past from the LGBT community due to the organizations’ stances on homosexuality.

That article does not clear up a whole lot in my opinion. The company is going to have to say a whole lot more than that in order to clear the air.
But let it be known that if the company is caving then Conservatives made that company and they can also unmake it.
Why are you spreading disinformation here?

5-6 times. So far today.
This is my criteria: not one dollar less for Salvation Army.
Shows you how far the Left is controlling the narrative when the Salvation Army is branded an extremist hate group.
Target was early in the Ban Salvation Army movement. How queer.
Guess we won’t see backed up lines at CFA anymore. Sellouts.
That article is Blah! The company needs to issue it own official statement of complete denial of the original claims. It needs to be issued on their own website.
From what I read the company has allowed a total leftie with deepstate connections onto their board. That is how the Boy Scouts were infiltrated and destroyed.
“would no longer be donating to groups like the Salvation Army,”
Because apparently the Salvation Army has never fed a starving child or helped the homeless...
ROFLMAO!
I'm surprised folks here have any knees left after all the stupid knee jerk reactions...........LOL!
Thank you!
” the restaurant’s foundation is maintaining they are philanthropically restructuring, not caving to political correctness in pursuit of higher profits.”
Yes, it is true. They are going to give to small charities, education and food kitchens. They are excluding Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. They sold out to the homos.
I have gone way out of my way to visit them on more than one occasion, If this follows through, and they cut off Salvation Army, I’ll ignore them. This started when they got rid of slaw and put in that wretching kale salad to appease chicks.
OH YEAH - ‘Biz’ what?
I would like nothing more than to get an official statement from the company calling this complete fake news. And nothing that sounds like double speak. Which is what the statement in the Christian post sounds like.
Are they going to continue to support the Salvation Army in at least the same amount? Or are they going be left to hang out to dry.
Bother what? Sorry, did not mean to be harsh. CFA has not capitulated to anyone or anything. They are just becoming more locally focused frim what I understand.
BS - it’s true. They’re not giving to any charity that believes in real marriage and that homosexuality is a sin. They’ve said as much.
In my opinion, C-f-A COO Tassopolous is advancing the agenda of the prince of this world.
It’s not a lie.
Salvation Army:
Does The Salvation Army provide benefits to same-sex partners of employees?
The Salvation Army adheres to all relevant employment laws and provides for domestic partner benefits accordingly.We offer benefits to all Salvation Army employees and do so in much the same way that other companies and private organizations provide them.We extend access to benefits for family members of our employees, which may include same sex partners according to applicable law.Typically this is done through insurance vehicles that are set up for all employees within a particular Salvation Army unit.
They have intentionally pulled funding from any charity that supports real marriage and that promote actual Christian values. Their restructuring gives money to organizations that are LGBT approved and then even came out and said that they had to restructure their giving to be more inclusive.
That capitulation to the LGBT and away from Christian values that the founder promoted.
Get woke - go broke.
