DOJ Probes Black Lives Matter Foundation Over Donations
The Justice Department probes allegations of donor fraud involving over $90 million raised during 2020 protests, with subpoenas and search warrants issued in a criminal investigation.
- On October 30, 2025, the Justice Department opened an investigation into whether leaders in the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. defrauded donors who gave more than $90 million after George Floyd's killing.
- State officials had earlier opened probes into Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc.'s finances to protect donors, intensifying after a $6 million property purchase and a 2022 lawsuit by Todd Rokita, Indiana Attorney General.
- In recent weeks, federal law enforcement officials have issued subpoenas and executed at least one search warrant while reviewing the foundation's Form 990 filing showing $28 million in assets for the fiscal year ending June 2024.
- The foundation said it `is not a target of any federal criminal investigation` Thursday and affirmed transparency, while spokespeople for the Justice Department declined to comment and no charges have been filed.
- As the movement expanded, a growing number of affiliated groups complicated financial oversight, and leaders disclosed expenditures in 2022, yet the current federal inquiry could affect donor trust in BLM chapters and affiliated Black-led organizations.
