The Southern Poverty Law Center reportedly spent only $61,000 pursuing their stated goal of providing "legal services" in 2015, despite having over $320 million in assets.

The Washington Free Beacon released a bombshell report Thursday showing the so-called "non-profit" has transferred millions of dollars to offshore entities in the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Bermuda.

From the Free Beacon:
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a liberal, Alabama-based 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization that has gained prominence on the left for its "hate group" designations, pushes millions of dollars to offshore entities as part of its business dealings, records show.

Additionally, the nonprofit pays lucrative six-figure salaries to its top directors and key employees while spending little on legal services despite its stated intent of "fighting hate and bigotry" using litigation, education, and other forms of advocacy.
They also found this gem:
The SPLC, which claims to boast a staff of 75 lawyers who practice in the area of children's rights, economic justice, immigrant justice, LGBT rights, and criminal justice reform, reported spending only $61,000 on legal services in 2015.

..."The SPLC is an anti-conservative, anti-Christian hate group that the media have given pretend legitimacy to. One glance at their 990 tax forms is a reminder just what a fund-raising super-power it is," Dan Gainor, vice president of Business and Culture at the Media Research Center, told the Free Beacon. "Its assets are over $328 million in 2015 and went up $13 million in just one year. It doesn't need new liberal money. It could operate for at least six years and never raise a penny. It's like a perpetual motion machine for fundraisers."
As I noted last week, Tim Cook donated at least $1 million of Apple's funds to the SPLC and started asking iTunes users to donate to the organization.
