More on the donations. Last year it was just under 2 million. This money was funneled through WinShape, Chick-Fil-A's official charitable arm.
According to Winshape's IRS report (see http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990pf_pdf_archive/581/581595471/581595471_201012_990PF.pdf) the following WinShape Gave Over $1.9 Million To Anti-Gay Groups. In 2010, WinShape donated $1,974,380 to a number of anti-gay groups: Marriage & Family Foundation: $1,188,380 Fellowship Of Christian Athletes: $480,000 National Christian Foundation: $247,500 New Mexico Christian Foundation: $54,000 Exodus International: $1,000 Family Research Council: $1,000 Georgia Family Council: $2,500 You all know my opinion of Exodus International - a truly fraudulent organization. While the FRC and related groups have been put on variou hate group watch lists. On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 10:05 AM, Larry C.
