Despite frequently airing pro-life and conservative content, Fox News has reportedly allowed matching employee donations to organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Satanic Temple.
A report from The Blaze cited anonymous insiders, who pointed out that Fox News will match $1,000 to “various organizations that satisfy the company’s criteria.” However, the sources said the donation-matching includes the abortion giant.
Rikki Ratliff-Fellman, director of programming at Blaze Media, was walked through the donation process by an employee, and saw firsthand that the groups qualified for 100% matching donations. “I watched this source physically log in to their company portal at Myfox.okta.com to confirm the giving app and to see some of the questionable charities and the donation match option for myself to verify nothing was photoshopped,” Ratliff-Fellman said.
Planned Parenthood, according to their latest annual report, commits more than 40% of all abortions in the United States.

“Fox pretends to care about Christians, but some of the stuff they push internally suggests otherwise,” an employee told The Blaze. “Glory holes, trans surgeries for kids, and potential donations to Satan are a huge slap in the face to every Christian at the company, and we resent it… it offends me personally that this company acts like they support Christians and yet they’re literally willing to match $1,000 donation to the Satanic Temple.”
A Fox News producer added, “It shows complete disregard and hatred for Fox’s core audience, which is a huge part of the country. They watch believing Fox is speaking for them, when in reality it’s a company participating in certain things that don’t match their audience’s values. [The disdain] is driven more by executives, lawyers, and HR than people realize.”
An update found that while Billy Graham’s charity originally was labeled as “doesn’t meet program guidelines,” the Satanic Temple did. However, the Satanic Temple has since been removed from the approved list, and Billy Graham’s charity was sent an invitation to join. Planned Parenthood is seemingly still included on the eligible list.
