Update at the end in which Chick-fil-A responds badly
If true that Chick-fil-A gave to the Southern Poverty Law Center after banning the Salvation Army, I will buy my chicken elsewhere. SPLC is a bridge too far for me. How about you?
SPLC is a hate group and they are especially hateful towards Christians. They keep a hate map filled with Christian groups and individuals.
Chick-fil-A’s 2017 990 IRS filing shows the fast-food franchise made a $2,500 donation to SPLC, among a laundry list of pro-abortion and pro-LGBT organizations, Townhall reports. It’s not the amount given, it’s the fact that they would give the nod to a hate group.

The SPLC was cited as the inspiration by a terrorist who shot up the Family Research Council (FRC), a group that lobbies for pro-marriage and pro-life policies.
The SPLC blamed Donald Trump for the death of a British PM. They will say anything. They lie and attack anyone who believes in God and traditional America.
They also offshore their money and they have plenty of it.
We have a call into them to find out if this is a mistake, but we don’t think so.
If true, @ChickfilA has badly lost its way. Millions of Christians have been proud of ChickFilA’s courageous stands for religious liberty. To fund those who hate your customers is just sad. https://t.co/fF8Po4eu8l

UPDATE
The chicken chain says they didn’t do it, it was a volunteer member. They still gave the grant.
“Each volunteer advisor, in 2017, was offered the opportunity to recommend a grant recipient,” a spokesperson said. “The grants were given to a range of organizations, including Meals on Wheels, Atlanta Mission, the Holocaust Survivor Support Fund, Georgia Historical Society and brain health research at Emory University.”
The spokesperson said Chick-fil-A’s founder Truett Cathy built the business on Biblical principles “that still guide the business today.”
“He famously said: ‘Probably the greatest gift that God has given any one of us is the power that we have to change people’s lives by what we do,’” the spokesperson said. “The best run company is the company that is forever thinking about others.’”
“It is in this spirit that all donations are made,” the spokesperson added.
The problem with that is SPLC is a hate group and they allowed it while not allowing donations to the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes that radical LGBTs want banned.
Will they ban SPLC? Would it be okay if a volunteer wanted to give the Nazi Veterans’ Fund? What if it was some crazy communist group? They just blindly donate? No caveats?
Chick-fil-A once stood up for what they believed in, and that’s why people stood up for them.
You decide if their position is good enough for you.
