$2500 to the SPLC? That is all? They made that in 15 minutes at the one I was at earlier today
$2500 is not a serious donation by a mega corp like Chick Fil A
Did someone donate that as a joke? Like some leftist put Chick Fil A’s name on it?
Though I did send $1.00 to the ObaMao campaign once just so I could get on the mailing list for lots of leftist groups including the SPLC.
I suppose you could say that $1 to me is more than $2500 to Chick-Fil-A.
As far as I am concerned, if it was a penny it was too much. But at the end of the day, it is their money. They can do with it as they please. I just won’t be a part of it.
2500 might not seem like a lot, but they will fire you if, as an employee, you steal one of there $3 chicken sandwiches.
From the article:
“The SPLC donation was made by a volunteer member of the Chick-fil-A Foundation Advisory Board,” a Chick-fil-A spokesperson told the DCNF. The spokesperson did not specify who the volunteer was and has not yet responded to a request for comment on the matter.“Each volunteer advisor, in 2017, was offered the opportunity to recommend a grant recipient,” the spokesperson said. “The grants were given to a range of organizations, including Meals on Wheels, Atlanta Mission, the Holocaust Survivor Support Fund, Georgia Historical Society and brain health research at Emory University.”
So CFA would have had to specifically reject the recommendation of a volunteer advisor to block the SPLC donation.
They should have blocked it, but it's no big deal.
Tim Cook (Apple) gave the SPLC $1 million. THAT's a big deal.
