Back in the fall of 2021, dozens of organizations and thousands of individuals, including hundreds of RGers, demanded [[link removed]] Fidelity Charitable disclose its contributions to these groups, plus the related fees and policies related to this practice.
Coalition members, including RG Boston and NC Triangle leaders, delivered the letter [[link removed]] to Fidelity headquarters in Boston [[link removed]] , MA and Raleigh [[link removed]] , NC.
They have ignored us.
And so now the people must disclose [[link removed]] .

The report argues that by allowing donations to such organizations Fidelity Charitable belies its own stated values and that it’s in their power to make a different choice and set an example for other philanthropic institutions.
It also lays out that this problem extends beyond organizations formally recognized as “hate groups.” We have to tackle the structural nature of the problem - this is not only about Fidelity Charitable making contributions to groups that spread hateful ideologies, but the direct complicity of these organizations in entrenching systemic oppression globally.
Fidelity Charitable has defended its actions on the ground that “Fidelity Charitable is cause-neutral.”
We will not let them hide behind this excuse while they funnel millions of dollars through DAFs that actively harm communities across the globe.
The Unmasking Fidelity coalition is anchored by six local and national organizations: ACRE, Asian American Resource Workshop, Community Labor United, Muslim Justice League, Political Research Associates, and Resource Generation.
