BLM is SUING George Soros Funded Foundation

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) has filed a lawsuit against the Tides Foundation, a major progressive non-profit organization funded by George Soros and others, alleging fraud and mismanagement of over $33 million in donations intended for BLMGNF.[1][2]

Key Points

  • BLMGNF claims Tides Foundation refused to transfer millions of dollars in donations that were pledged to BLMGNF after it obtained tax-exempt status in 2022.[1][2]
  • The lawsuit accuses Tides of deceptive practices, operating as an unregulated bank managing over $1.4 billion in assets, and diverting BLMGNF’s funds elsewhere without consent.[1][2]
  • Tides denies the allegations, stating the funds were intended for local grassroots BLM chapters, not large national organizations like BLMGNF.[1][2]
  • The Open Society Foundations of George Soros has contributed nearly $14 million to Tides over the years to support progressive causes.[2][3]
  • BLMGNF emerged as a major social justice group after George Floyd’s murder in 2020, raising tens of millions in donations which Tides helped manage initially.[1][2]

The lawsuit highlights tensions between the national BLMGNF organization and local BLM activist groups over control of the substantial funding raised in the racial justice movement’s name.[1][2] BLMGNF accuses Tides of exploiting its role as a fiscal sponsor and calls for transparency in non-profit operations related to social justice philanthropy.[2]
