Retired New York Police Department Chief of Department John Chell told Newsmax on Friday that a lack of consequences is fueling street takeovers in major U.S. cities.

Hundreds of companies use the software company Benevity to connect with nonprofits, allowing employees to donate their time and money, but Benevity’s platform blacklists conservative nonprofits, using as a resource the very same leftist group that now faces charges for hiding its secret payments to Ku Klux Klan members.

The SPLC admitted to funding members of the Klan and other white nationalist groups, claiming that the funding was part of a program supporting “informants” who reported on “violent extremists” and “saved lives.” A Justice Department indictment, however, accuses the SPLC of directing “racist postings,” featuring as “extremists” on its website the same people it was paying, and even supporting an organizer of the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville.

The Daily Signal reached out to Benevity to see if the company would reconsider using the SPLC as a filter in light of the allegations.

“Benevity is not directly affiliated with the SPLC,” the company’s spokesperson told The Daily Signal in a statement Friday. “Benevity clients have the option to use the list of nonprofit organizations included on the SPLC’s annual Hate Map to determine nonprofit eligibility within their programs. The use of this option is not a default setting and is at the sole discretion of clients.”

According to its website, Benevity connects “nearly 1,000 enterprise companies” to a network of 513,000 nonprofits after vetting 2.2 million of them. It says it has managed $16 billion in grants and 99 million employee volunteer hours. In 2023, more than 2.3 million people donated through the Benevity platform, representing $3.2 billion.

“Benevity’s denial that it defaults to the SPLC filter is hard to square with its own history,” Greg Scott, executive vice president at 1792 Exchange, told The Daily Signal in response to the Benevity statement. “Former CEO Kelly Schmitt bragged about its use of the ‘hate list’ as recently as 2021.”

Schmitt delivered a PowerPoint presentation explicitly stating that the company had “vetted” almost “2 million nonprofits,” adding that it used the “Southern Poverty Law Center Hate List.”

Scott added, however, that “the real issue isn’t how the SPLC filter is used, it’s why this list is used at all.”

Critics have said the SPLC trades on its history of suing Ku Klux Klan groups into bankruptcy to smear conservatives. The center publishes a “hate map” that plots parental rights groups like Moms for Liberty, conservative groups like Turning Point USA, and Christian groups like Focus on the Family alongside chapters of the Klan.

In 2012, a convicted terrorist told the FBI he targeted a conservative Christian nonprofit in Washington, D.C., the Family Research Council, for a mass shooting. Four months after the SPLC added Turning Point USA to the “hate map” last year, Tyler Robinson allegedly murdered Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk, aiming to silence his “hate.”

According to 1792 Exchange, 252 companies using the Benevity platform exclude conservative groups by using the SPLC list as a screening tool. The list includes Adobe, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, McDonald’s, Netflix, PayPal, Salesforce, Starbucks, and many more.

Scott argued that Benevity should reconsider after the DOJ indictment.

“Given recent revelations about the SPLC itself funding hate groups, [Benevity] CEO Soraya Alexander should demonstrate clear leadership by removing the SPLC filter from Benevity’s platform entirely,” he said.

'He Fires the NAVY Secretary'

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson served on the board of the Southern Poverty Law Center while the SPLC paid members of the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan Nations.

Benson, a Democrat running for governor, joined the organization’s board in 2014 and left in 2019, when the SPLC fired its co-founder, Morris Dees, amid a racial discrimination and sexual harassment scandal.

The SPLC gained its reputation by suing Ku Klux Klan groups into bankruptcy in the 1980s, and today it maintains a “hate map” that plots mainstream conservative and Christian groups alongside Klan chapters. According to a Justice Department indictment filed Tuesday, the SPLC broke the law by paying $3 million to members of the Klan and other white nationalist groups while claiming to oppose “white supremacy” and by lying to banks about the shell companies it created to hide the funding.

The SPLC has not denied making the payments, instead insisting that it paid “informants” for tips on potential violence. SPLC interim CEO Bryan Fair said the program “saved lives.”

While members of the Klan did firebomb the SPLC offices in 1983, there is no evidence of violent activity threatening the SPLC during the period covered by the indictment, namely 2014 to 2023.

Jocelyn Benson

Benson, who currently leads the polls in the Michigan Democrat gubernatorial primary by a healthy margin, has cited her history with the SPLC in interviews during the campaign, and she mentioned it in her 2025 memoir “The Purposeful Warrior: Standing Up for What’s Right When the Stakes Are High.”

She worked as a volunteer researcher and undercover investigator at the SPLC right after college, and makes an annual trek to the SPLC’s home city of Montgomery, Alabama, according to a profile on The 19th News. She spoke with a reporter outside the center’s Civil Rights Memorial.

Benson said she researched neo-Nazi and far-right groups at the center, posing as a freelance journalist to uncover the plans of white supremacist leaders and groups.

After more than four years on the SPLC’s board in 2019, her name suddenly disappeared from the website. When PJ Media reached out for comment, the secretary of state’s official Twitter account responded.

“Upon taking office as Michigan Secretary of State, Secretary Benson informed SPLC leadership that she would be stepping down from the board,” the account posted. “Her responsibilities in Michigan are her priority and focus.”

Yet the SPLC leadership page for Benson had mentioned her role as Michigan’s secretary of state.

Benson’s campaign did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by publication time.

Why Did Benson Leave?

As I wrote in “Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center,” Benson left the SPLC amid resurfaced claims of racial discrimination and sexual harassment that trace back decades.

Amid this scandal, the SPLC fired its co-founder, Morris Dees, and saw its longterm president, Richard Cohen, resign. The SPLC brought in Tina Tchen, former chief of staff to former first lady Michelle Obama, to investigate employees’ mistreatment claims, but the center never published a report on the scandal. Disgruntled employees went on to found a union, and after a series of layoffs in 2024, the union accused the SPLC of union-busting and asked for the resignation of SPLC President Margaret Huang. Huang resigned last year.

Criticism

The Republican Governors Association raised Benson’s history and demanded answers.

“It’s time Jocelyn Benson starts answering questions about what she knew and if she played any part in this shocking scandal,” Kollin Crompton, communications director for the Republican Governors Association, said in a statement Thursday.
