Chick-fil-A Will Not Donate to Christian Charities Anymore

It’s a celebration for the LGBTQ community.

Chick-fil-A, which has been known for funding Christian charities that have had a history of being against same sex marriages, will no longer donate to these controversial charities.

The company announced on Monday that it has stopped funding two Christian charities.

A spokeswoman for Chick-fil-A told the Thomson Reuters Foundation that the company would focus its giving on “education, homelessness and hunger.”

Chick-Fil-A’s foundation has donated millions of dollars to The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and will no longer fund the organizations.

“We made multi-year commitments to both organisations and we fulfilled those obligations in 2018,” said a company spokeswoman. Now the company will focus giving on “education, homelessness and hunger.”

“If Chick-Fil-A is serious about their pledge to stop holding hands with divisive anti-LGBTQ activists, then further transparency is needed regarding their deep ties to organizations like Focus on the Family, which exist purely to harm LGBTQ people and families,” Drew Anderson, GLAAD’s director of campaigns and rapid response said on Monday.
