Results: Chick-fil-A to stop donating to anti-LGBTQ groups!

American fast-food chain Chick-fil-A is pulling its support for organizations accused of homophobia as its expansion into new markets such as Toronto continues to be met with vociferous protest by LGBTQ groups and allies. While the Chick-fil-A press release didn’t specifically name any of the partnerships that would be ending, president and CEO Tim Tassopoulos confirmed in an interview with Bisnow that the chain would no longer be providing financial support to the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Paul Anderson Youth Home or any of the other organizations it has dealt with in the past that have taken a public stance against homosexuality and/or gay marriage. In 2017 and 2018, the Chick-fil-A Foundation gave $2.4 million to the Missouri-based Fellowship of Christian Athletes for sports camps for underserved youth and $165,000 to the Salvation Army to buy Christmas gifts for needy children. The foundation also gave $6,000 to the Paul Anderson Youth Homes.
