Thank you for this. I think most on this site are not surprised, I'm not. There are actually ratings for charitable groups and Charity Navigator is one. It gives Freedom From Religion Foundation a grade of 95 [charitynavigator.org] . People should check this out before contributing. Of course many of the Christian groups actually want to spread violence because in their pea brains it will bring in the apocalypse and the return of Jesus on a white horse.
It's great that a periodical as Newsweek published this. Information needs to be given to these kind of things.

Loopholes need to be plugged.

I believe it.

Messed up for sure, but I don't understand why Newsweek decided to lead with an unrelated and misleading photo of white supremacists. Nothing in the article suggests racial hate groups received any money from the NCF.

Thanks for this post to be honest this is the first I've heard about this, Sad to say I'm not surprised that the Church Group engages in not just hate speech but funding right wing Hate groups. What bothers me is the rise of White Nationalism which I believe is nothing more than the KKK without their Hoods. At one time they had a supporter in the Whitehouse and now I'm afraid to say they do again.

This is insane!

"The nation's eighth-largest nonprofit donated $56.1 million to a series of organizations identified as hate groups from 2015 to 2017, according to a report from Sludge.

National Christian Foundation, which identifies itself as the largest Christian grant maker and one of the largest donor-advised funds in the nation, has served as a vehicle for individuals trying to anonymously send money.

...

The NCF's website says it has "accepted over $12 billion in contributions and made over $10 billion in giver-recommended grants to more than 55,000 charities."

So they have $2B in overhead?

"Charities" are rackets! Only 5-15% of what they rake in goes to helping anybody. The rest goes to operating costs, and huge salaries for the CEOs!
