According to an October 30th, 2025 article published by the Associated Press, the U.S. Department of Justice has opened a federal investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) and related organizations over allegations of donor fraud and misuse of charitable funds raised during the nationwide racial justice protests of 2020. Federal authorities have reportedly issued subpoenas and at least one search warrant as part of the probe, which aims to determine whether tens of millions of dollars in donations meant for racial justice initiatives were diverted for personal or unauthorized use.
The foundation has denied any wrongdoing and stated that it has not been informed that it is a target of a criminal investigation, according to the Associated Press. The DOJ has not issued a public statement confirming or detailing the scope of the inquiry, and an agency spokesperson declined to comment on the ongoing matter.
November 10th, 2025 article update: On Friday, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation announced a change in leadership.
CharityWatch Rating of Black Lives Matter---Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation does not encompass the entire Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, but is rather its separately incorporated, national 501(c)(3) public charity arm. Its financial statements do not include the financial activities of its locally organized chapters or grassroots organizations.
With this in mind, the Foundation spent only 47% of its cash expenses on its programs in fiscal 2023, as computed by CharityWatch upon our analysis of its IRS tax Form 990 and audited financial statements for that year. In addition to earning a D rating on our A+ to F rating scale for low financial efficiency, CharityWatch has expressed other concerns about the organization such as its lack of adequate governance and its involvement in multiple lawsuits.
