For all its talk of being a street uprising, Black Lives Matter is increasingly awash in cash, raking in pledges of more than $100 million from liberal foundations and others eager to contribute to what has become the grant-making cause du jour.
The Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy recently announced the formation of the Black-Led Movement Fund [BLMF], a six-year pooled donor campaign aimed at raising $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives coalition.
That funding comes in addition to more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter movement from top Democratic Party donor George Soros through his Open Society Foundations, as well as grant-making from the Center for American Progress.
“The BLMF provides grants, movement building resources, and technical assistance to organizations working advance the leadership and vision of young, Black, queer, feminists and immigrant leaders who are shaping and leading a national conversation about criminalization, policing and race in America,” said the Borealis announcement.
In doing so, however, the foundations have aligned themselves with the staunch left-wing platform of the Movement for Black Lives, which unveiled a policy agenda shortly after the fund was announced accusing Israel of being an “apartheid state” guilty of “genocide.”

Brought to you by the usual suspect(s)..
When I was serving this Country, this anti-American anarchy would be dealt with swiftly, promptly and with extreme prejudice.
Did they agitate to “Burn this “Mxxxxx Xxxxxr” down?” Did they damage the town? Good time for lawyers to start litigating on behalf of storeowners and citizens who have experienced damage as a result of BLM instigated riots! Time for some “torturous” litigation
That is going to buy a lot of crack.
The money will quickly disappear.
Good point, the "movement" has the money. Just need to identify and sue whoever is writing the checks.
Owner of a 2011 Ford Escape here, just wrote Ford and told them I won’t be buying their brand anymore.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Ford Foundation has absolutely nothing to do with Ford, the auto maker.
What’s the deal with George Soros anyway?
His foundation’s mission statement is supposedly to help people transition AWAY from communism.
But he’s giving all his money to lefty-communist leaning groups.
Is his mission statement a lie? Or are the groups lying to get his money?
The Ford Foundation has absolutely nothing to do with Ford, the auto maker.
Yes and yes.
Seething clouds of anger circumvented rational thought. Thanks for clearing that up. I like my vehicle a lot.
With the money they should set up scholarships, teach moral values, promote job opportunities, and individual responsibility for their lives. In other words, stay in school, don’t get married until out of school and no children until married.
But the money was donated not to take care of the inner-city kids, help schools, etc.
The money is donated to help bring down America.
These people must be crushed.
