Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors liked to splash the charity’s funds around, with her brother and child’s father both benefiting from handsome cash payments in return for various services.
The tax documents reveal BLM paid a company owned by Damon Turner, the father of Cullors’ child, nearly $970,000 to help “produce live events” and provide other “creative services.”
The co-founder’s brother, Paul Cullors, saw more than $840,000 of donated funds pass into his hands for providing security services to the foundation.
All told the foundation is still worth tens of millions of dollars, after spending more than $37 million on grants, real estate, consultants, and other expenses, according to the tax documents.
BLM ended its last fiscal year – from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 – at nearly $42 million to the good in net assets. The foundation had an operating budget of about $4 million.
Cullors resigned last year amid a wave of scrutiny surrounding BLM.
Real estate website Dirt.com reported Cullors had bought a $1.4 million compound in the Los Angeles enclave of Topanga.
The Topanga home was one of four Cullors owned, including a Georgia ranch with an airplane hangar. Cullors, like many other prominent Black Lives Matter leaders, is a “trained Marxist.”
The revelations prompted more protest from activists, and spurred calls for an independent investigation of the movement’s finances. Cullors said she bought the homes to support family.
She has repeatedly denied claims she took donations from BLM for personal matters and has reiterated all the purchases and transactions – including a lavish $6million home in Los Angeles were legitimate.

What does she think she is, a politician or something?!
Disgusting but not unexpected.
Just think of the money as Slavery Reparations.
To those that donated to the BLM scam . .
Congratulations on being woke, you sure helped a of those downtrodden black folks . . .
I’m not sure what a “trained Marxist” is, but it’s clear that she is not a “practicing Marxist”.
The Malibu mansion was listed at $3.8 million the afternoon before the purchase. BLM Foundation paid $6.1 million. I’d put money on a massive kickback to the BLM henchmen at Closing. A little $2 million “cash back” rebate, if you will. Its a way for them to get money personally from the 501(c)(3)foundation “tax free,” so they think.
They’re not good con artists and not very smart. They really do think they can get away with it.
Grifters gonna grift.
