Amazon has kicked the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation off its charity platform. The E-Commerce company claims the organization did not share the whereabouts of the donations received years ago.
According to the NY Post, AmazonSmile “had to suspend” the organization temporarily. AmazonSmile is an extension of the company that donates a portion of eligible purchases to charitable organizations.
“States have rules for nonprofits, and organizations participating in AmazonSmile need to meet those rules. Unfortunately, this organization fell out of compliance with the rules in several states. So we’ve had to temporarily suspend them from the program until they come into compliance,” says a spokesperson for AmazonSmile.
The company also plans to withhold any donations made to the charity “until they’re back in compliance.”
