SPLC Hate Map

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) Hate Map is a resource created, maintained and published by the SPLC, an American nonprofit organization, used to help track and document hate groups operating across the United States. Inclusion on the SPLC Hate Map is based on SPLC methodology, definitions and analysis. You can find out more at the SPLC website. 

While Benevity is not affiliated with the SPLC, clients have the option to use the SPLC’s Hate Map as a third-party data source to inform nonprofit eligibility within their programs.

The use of this option is at the sole discretion of our clients. 
 

Eligibility of SPLC organizations in your programs

Some entities listed on the SPLC Hate Map are legally registered 501(c)(3) charities in the U.S. and, as such, may appear in Benevity’s Causes Portal. Each year, when the SPLC updates its Hate Map, Benevity reviews the list to identify which of those entities are nonprofit organizations that may be eligible for inclusion in the Causes Portal. Clients then have the choice to assess whether these organizations should be included in or excluded from their programs.

Clients have full authority and control to select, maintain and approve the nonprofit organizations that are eligible within their program. 

*Per the Terms of Use, Benevity does not take any responsibility for and disclaims all liability related to client decisions to include or exclude any given nonprofit.
