I guess Fidelity doesn't want to help fund hate groups. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-grand-jury-charges-so...

They were paying confidential informants for tips they would use in investigations and pass to law enforcement. Not QUITE the same as being a hate group.

Sure, sure - that's why they went to lengths to ensure the money wasn't traceable back to them, right?

Your "guess" is not the stated reason. FTA:

>“Consistent with our grant-making standards and practices, the organization is not an eligible grant recipient during the ongoing investigation.”

In fact, WRT Fidelity's actual disposition on funding hate groups, the SPLC reported in 2023 that their donor advised fund had been consistently used to that effect, including anti-LGBTQ, anti-government, anti-Muslim, and hard right groups.[0]
