2 Major Companies Bankrolling SPLC Will Cut Off Grants After DOJ Indictment
The Daily Signal ^ | April 30, 2026 | Tyler O'neal

The federal indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, which accuses the SPLC of wire fraud and bank fraud for funding members of the very white supremacist groups it claims to dismantle, has led some financial institutions to block grants to the group.

After Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Financial announced they would stop issuing grants to the SPLC due to the indictment, The Daily Signal reached out to 15 companies on the Fortune 1000 whose (in some cases independent) foundations sent the SPLC more than $10,000 since 2020.

Two of these companies have followed Fidelity’s lead in stating that the SPLC will not be eligible to receive grants through donor-advised funds due to the federal indictment.

“Corporate donations to the Southern Poverty Law Center underscore the need for companies to ensure they are not inadvertently supporting extremism,” Dustin DeVito, director of research at 1792 Exchange, told The Daily Signal in a statement Friday.

SPLC are false flag operatives. They are stirring up Americans in order to solicit donations. Similar to a arsonist helping put out the fire he just started, in order to claim hero status.

Someone must go to prison over this. It cannot be legal to do this in a free society, or in any society.

Hmm. Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Financial?

Maybe an investigation is needed with respect to any other "charitable" grants they are making?

ATT(then SBC) gave $500k to Jesse Jackson’s Operation Push just so that they would not be called racist. Easy money.

Where I grew up, we had one of these. He did not want to be a hero, just be the first at the fire station with his hot Dodge.

And he did go to prison.

His new name, upon release, was ‘Torch’.

Well, it sure was easy to get Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Financial to fall in line. Others will follow.

It is SO LONG OVERDUE!! Rush knew what these SPLC bastards were up to two decades ago. We’ve all known it forever.

The federal government needs SpaceX and Tesla SPEED. End the damn lethargy and put these terrorists out of business!

Fidelity Charitable gave the SPLC $4.1 million in FY 2024.

This pisses me off. I’ll have to ask my Fidelity rep why they sponsored home grown terrorism.

It’s protection money not grants.

Proper Headline:

Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Financial cut off funding to the Ku Klux Klan.

SPLC had an $822 million endowment in FY 2024.

Plus, $129 million in donations in FY 2024.

Someone needs to do a Deep Financial Dive into those numbers!

You are so right! In return for the contributions, SPLC and their ilk turn a blind eye toward their companies. Same for the billionaires. The billionaires are not enamored with the liberal causes (I think), but get “overlooked” because of their “generosity”.

Is Fidelity Charitable actually Fidelity?

If so, maybe I should re-evaluate my relationship with Fidelity.

Why wouldn't you just give Fidelity the good old Go Woke Go Broke that they deserve?

This is in fact the course of action you should be taking you know.

Agreed. Personally, I think every not-for-profit should be required to list all of their political affiliations, benefactors, who they give money or grants to, and any affiliations with Communist / socialist organizations, or religious affiliations. When you are exempted from paying taxes you should be required to be transparent.
