After engagement from Inspire Investing and others, Microsoft has directed Benevity to stop using the SPLC’s “hate map” to filter nonprofits from its employee gift-matching program. In its “Max the Match” document, Microsoft states any nonprofit organization that “verifies its 501c3 or equivalent status will be available to Microsoft employees.” The Daily Signal highlighted several organizations, including the 1792 Exchange, engaging companies on behalf of shareholders to ensure charitable giving is viewpoint neutral. The 1792 Exchange is pleased to work alongside Inspire Investing, Bowyer Research, the Heritage Foundation, and many others in this important work. 1792 Exchange created this resource to track how companies are responding to the growing controversy surrounding the SPLC and Benevity and encourages companies that have made changes to their charitable giving programs to disclose those changes to their customers and shareholders.
