Add Southern Poverty Hate Group List to the Charity Check
Please add organizations that are listed on the Southern Poverty Hate Group list to the Charity Check in CS so that if they are on the list, it will not pass the charity check (similar to OFAC listing). This would be super helpful!!
Thank you for this suggestion. We have archived it, as the SPLC does not support in-software use of their list.

What qualifies the SPLC to be the arbiter of 'hate' groups? This is a ridiculous idea. According to its own website it says: "Hatewatch monitors and exposes the activities of the American radical right." This assumes hate is only attributable to one political or social faction - the right! This is patently discriminatory on its face and should absolutely not be enshrined in the function of Charity Checks (or anything else in the database) that is used BY people of all political persuasions FOR constituents of all political persuasions.
