Racism is big business for the Southern Poverty Law Center according to its tax returns. No fewer than 16 employees make over $210,000 per year while it parks $31 million offshore and enjoyed nearly $800 million in investments. Good grub if you can get it.
The most recent tax return, 2023, is posted below. The 990 reports the following information:
Total revenue: $129,063, 290
Salaries: $56 million
Grants: $2.9 million
Profit: $80 million, up from a profit of $47.7 million in 2022.
Total assets: $822,198,315
If the salaries are to be judged, the Southern Poverty Law Center is the Goldman Sachs of non-profits. Check out the salaries and titles.
CEO Margaret Huang: $466,934 CFO: $225,020 Chief Program Officer: $249,151 Chief Legal Officer: $264,277 Interim Chief of Staff: $210,108 Chief Development Officer: $240,721 General Counsel: $242,869 Chief Information Officer: $239,894 Chief Program Strategy Officer: $251,745 Chief Policy Officer: $256,191 Chief Human Resources Officer: $237,861 Chief Communications Officer: $190,894 Interim Chief of Staff: $161,050 Director of Intelligence Project: $213,394 Deputy Legal Director: $219,895 Deputy Legal Director: $218,237 Director of Legal Management: $216,696 Director of Learning for Justice: $211,977It is not known how much the Assistant Head Lettuce Washer makes. Benefits range from $23,000 to $55,000 per employee listed above. In short, no fewer than 16 Southern Poverty Law Center employees make more than $211,000 per year in salary, not counting benefits.
The other salaries and wages are $43 million.
Despite racking in the dough, the Center spent some money:
Legal fees: $947,109
Lobbying: $3.75 million
Travel: $434,632
Conferences: $1.6 million
Education projects: $9.2 million
SPLC enjoys a rather healthy portfolio with $770.5 million in investments. The investments include $30.7 million placed in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Center awarded $3.3 million to other organizations for lobbying purposes. However, SPLC somehow lost money on fund-raising.
SPCL awarded various amounts to schools as well. It distributed $20,700 to the Cleveland School District and $35,000 to Tougaloo College.
As one can see, fighting racism is big business for the Southern Poverty Law Center. So which is more important to the SPLC, fighting racism or collecting the cash?
It makes one wonder if the Southern Poverty Law Center really wants to see racism go away.

Sounds like the opposite end of the spectrum from Alex Jones, but one common denominator - made a lot of money off of ignorance.
More like a lotta money can be made off of white guilt. SPLC was/is/will continue to be a grift.
back in the 1960s charles evers said ''you will never get rid of racism cause there are too many people making money at it''.
not much poverty in those salaries.
That organization never passed the smell test. They gambled that no one would scrutinize them given their “front” but thankfully someone did.
Before Jody Owens ran for DA, he was working for Southern Poverty but resigned amid a flurry of sexual harassment complaints. This information was available to the voters before his first election. They chose to ignore it.
On the first day of the session this year, the lobbyist for SPLC was carrying a Louboutin purse and of course the heels. But what really got my attention was that the heels had a strange vamp decoration that had the Louboutin "L" logo. It caught my eye because Louboutin's don't usually have a visible logo, the red bottom is how you know. Never seen that before so later I looked it up. Apparently SPLC needed $800 accessories for their $1100 heels to match the $1800 Cabata tote. What else does one wear to march on the Capitol to fight against the rights of impoverished black parents to choose their kid's school?
$822M will solve a lot of poverty issues......
Aren't they the ones representing the
people who are suing the state over the
arpa funds?
“The Height of The Ridiculous”
Let me get this straight - yall people who want a billion dollar ballroom and are enduring $5.00 a gallon gas and are watching the first family literally make billions off of the USA - are all bent out of shape that a group dedicated to erasing the KKK has investments over 50 years which have increased in value?
That’s rich
Que up Hillary Clinton reciting the “ I don’t feel noways tired” speech
A terrorist organization that funds other terrorist organizations.
Didn't see Board Members (Big Mike and Hussein).
There is mucho moolah to be grifted-up in racism. You don't need a list - You know who they are.
The DEM put a pretty face on modern slavery called handouts (LBJ) and entitlements, with no regard to a "hand up". The same party behind the KKK, never changed, they pivoted and many of our brown brothers and sisters can't see it or refuse to as they're too complacent with the freebies to join the rest of us contributing and thriving which with the same amount of contribution, they're entitled to and capable of as human beings.
No wonder why they were paying the KKK so much. They had to keep the enemy in good shape so they would have someone to blame everything on and to scare people into donating.
1:02 PM, thanks for sharing that in the 1960’s Charles Evers said ''you will never get rid of racism cause there are too many people making money at it.”
Also in the 1960’s Malcom X said “that white person that you see calling himself a liberal is the most dangerous thing in the entire Western Hemisphere.”
In June of 2020 Civil Rights legend Bob Woodson said: In the civil rights movement we promised blacks if you were to elect blacks to public office through the voting rights act, and we (blacks) were running those institutions, that all of black America would be better off. Now after 50 years of liberal Democrats running the inner cities, we have all of these inequities.
And in 2010 Alan Lange & Tom Dawson via Kings of Tort and Curtis Wilkie via The Fall of the House of Zeus educated us on just how narcissistic and criminal scumbag Democrat supporting trial lawyers can be.
Looks like SPLC proves all of the above, correct yet again.
Ignored it because he was culturally correct.
Lock Her Up
Someone is angry that the racism grift is coming to an end. Lol
Trillions of dollars are made off of emotional weakness. If I didn’t have a conscience, I’d be noways poor.
The conversation is about the SPLC funding groups that they are supposedly against. Keep up knuckle head.
1:51, you libtards need to learn to ethically argue. Your statements completely lack context. The “billion dollar ballroom” will cost taxpayers virtually nothing while providing all future presidents, republican and democrat, a venue to safely host large events without using portapotties and tents. It will also provide a state of the art emergency operations center and better administrative space. As for the gas, hell yes I’ll temporarily pay extra if it means neutralizing a rogue terrorist state with nuclear ambitions. Please seek treatment - TDS is curable if diagnosed early.
Any white folk making the big bucks there? I didn't think so.
Is it common for non-profit organizations to park money offshore?
ONCE UPON A TIME it was a sacrifice and maybe even dangerous to represent the interest of the "poor" and "downtrodden". No more. It can now be quite lucrative. That is why you will not be rid of the "poor" and "downtrodden".
@1:51 Correction The SPLC is not committed to erasing the KKK. They are committed to fighting the KKK. Big difference. If the KKK is erased what is their purpose? Where does all that money go then?
Actually 1:51 - you are wrong in your accusations. Some of us reasonable conservatives do not support the billon dollar ballroom, despite the fool at 3:06 that is one of those that actually believes everything that comes out of TheDon's mouth. We don't support wasting a billion on a gold-encrusted ediface, while we also don't support the concept of hundreds of millions drawing interest while collecting tens of millions more a year in 'donations' for an entity that claims to 'fight poverty', while actually supporting the continuation of poverty to assist them in, of all things, more fundraising.
And 3:06, the 'virtually nothing' crap you are spreading evidently ignores the lies about the ballroom, just check out TheDon's latest lackey, Senator Graham, as he is pushing for the finacially broke federal government to pay for this just as always has been planned.
What is left out of this reporting on the SPLC scam is the millions they have parked into a Political Action Committee that is illegally funding judicial candidates; successfully evidently since our state does little or nothing to enforce illegal campaign finance activitites.
