Southern Ivy Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) But didn't Chick Fil A stop donating to those groups?According to the Huffpost article mentioned earlier, they did. It stated: "This past week Chick-fil-A shared with me the 2011 IRS Form 990, filed in November for the WinShape Foundation, along with 2012 financials. The IRS has not released the 990 to the public yet, but the financials affirm Chick-fil-A’s values a year prior to the controversy this past July. The nearly $6 million in outside grant funding focuses on youth, education, marriage enrichment and local communities. The funding reflects Chick-fil-A’s promised commitment not to engage in “political or social debates,†and the most divisive anti-LGBT groups are no longer listed. Even as Campus Pride and so many in the community protested Chick-fil-A and its funding of groups like Family Research Council, Eagle Forum and Exodus International, the funding of these groups had already stopped. Dan Cathy and Chick-fil-A could have noted this publicly earlier. Instead, they chose to be patient, to engage in private dialogue, to reach understanding,and to share proof with me when it was official. There was no “cavingâ€; there were no “concessions.†There was, in my view, conscience." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shane-l-windmeyer/dan-cathy-chick-fil-a_b_2564379.html Eta: of course, things can change. So, I'm just going by what the founder of Campus Pride stated. Edited June 15, 2016 by Southern Ivy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
