The American Alliance for Equal Rights reported the groups to the IRS over their discriminatory scholarships and programs..
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and two other nonprofit organizations have come under fire for allegedly implementing scholarship and career advancement programs that discriminate against white Americans, potentially violating federal law and jeopardizing their tax-exempt status.
The American Alliance for Equal Rights (AAER) reported three organizations, the Gates Foundation, the Lagrant Foundation, and the Creative Capital Foundation, in letters to the IRS, claiming the nonprofits have “intentionally” discriminated against white people.
These cases of discrimination, AAER says, constitute “sufficient grounds” for the IRS to revoke the tax-exempt statuses of these three organizations.
Edward Blum, the president of the AAER, blasted the groups for engaging in race-based discrimination while enjoying public subsidies on account of their tax-exempt status. “Organizations that discriminate based on race—whether their intentions are benevolent or not—are not eligible for public subsidies through the tax code,” Blum asserted. “The IRS must act to uphold the law.”
The Gates Foundation, AAER says, is “intentionally discriminating against white students by excluding them from the tuition assistance and specialized support that it provides to students of every other race or ethnicity.” The foundation’s Gates Scholarship states that the program is a “highly selective, last dollar scholarship for outstanding, minority high school students” before listing acceptable racial and ethnic backgrounds in its eligibility requirements.
A 2022 video advertising the Gates Scholarship reaffirms that only “low-income, minority students” are eligible. The program is only open to students who are “African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, or Native American.”
AAER also blasted the Lagrant Foundation, which it similarly accuses of engaging in race-based discrimination against whites.
The Lagrant Foundation partners with large corporations like Walmart, Microsoft, and Charles Schwab and seeks to “increase the number of ethnic minorities in the fields of advertising, marketing and public relations.” It lists the approved racial and ethnic backgrounds eligible for the program, which is limited to African Americans, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, and Hispanics.
Another organization, called Creative Capital, teamed up with the leftist Skoll Foundation to similarly engage in discrimination, AAER claimed in its letter.
Skoll and Creative Capital, which provides funding to artists, worked alongside Kickstarter “to launch a $500,000 Creative Capital x Skoll Foundation Fund that backs projects by Asian, Black, Indigenous, and Latinx creators on the crowdfunding platform.”
Artists selected for the program were also given “access to Creative Capital’s vast educational resources and workshops at no-charge” and “strategic guidance” from “Kickstarter’s category experts.”
“These organizations are free to operate as they wish—but not with the public subsidy that tax-exempt status provides,” Blum charged. “Racial discrimination—whether in scholarships, professional development, or artistic grants—violates public policy and must not be underwritten by American taxpayers.”
The three nonprofits are far from the only organizations accused of openly engaging in blatant race-based discrimination in the name of DEI, however. One Massachusetts music nonprofit ran a “BIPOC internship” that similarly excluded white people, informing applicants that “we welcome Black, Indigenous, and other persons of color to apply.”
A wide range of corporations have also discriminated against white applicants, a series of Daily Wire investigations revealed. NASCAR, McKinsey and Company, Oracle, Apple, and various other corporations appear to have engaged in openly discriminatory practices in the name of DEI.
Isn’t the Bill Gates Foundation about wiping out 3/4 of the population?
Yes.. 90 percent or more
Whites are so difficult to work with anyways… /s
All nonprofits should lose “nonprofit” status IMO.
They ARE, that’s right.
Here’s hoping they lose their tax exempt status big time.
About time!
I agree...except maybe allow 501s up to $100,000? That means little guys can raise funds...
Many non profits make huge profits = tax free scams.
Q: Why does Gates need a non profit company?
A: So he can use tax payer $$$ instead of his own to back WEF
YES
So I should get a tax cut because I collect coins and donate to my local numismatic nonprofit?
If you donate, you donate: no reason Uncle Sam should be forced to donate with you!
It is disgusting that individuals in such outfits are not already in jail for violating numerous Fed and state anti-discrimination laws.
This is especially egregious for states that had no history of openly kissing BBiden’s butt on his racism.
Where exactly in the article does it say that they actually lost their exemption status?
Read Part I for the "expenses" to directors, managers, other salaries and perks and that special catch-all for groups like this -- "other."
Lots of people getting lots of money, while Gates takes a break on his taxes....
Then read Part VII....
This is NOT a charity. And it parks billions in investments....
Will they be reporting the United Negro College Fund
Good. These virulent racists need to be called out and held to account.
Way to go!
I’ve been ranting about 501’s for about 15 years. I’ve read hundreds of 990’s and but never this one. It’s typical, a “charity” built to enrich it’s handlers. The “nonprofit” corporation laws in the US need to be rebooted. We should only allow “charities” where the entity houses, feeds, clothes or provided health benefits to humans. Other than that? No soup for you!
