THE CAMPAIGN TO STOP FUNDING HATE:

Is US Corporate Philanthropy Funding Hate Groups In India? The Campaign to Stop Funding Hate Announces Project Saffron Dollar

Are the charity dollars generously provided by American companies, including some of our leading corporate citizens of the high technology world, being used to fund violent, sectarian groups in India? The Campaign to Stop Funding Hate (SFH) announces the launch of Project Saffron Dollar to bring an end to the electronic collection and transfer of funds from the US to organizations that spread sectarian hatred in India.

The Campaign to Stop Funding Hate (SFH) is a coalition of people -- professionals, students, workers, artists and intellectuals -- who share a common concern that sectarian hatreds in India are being fueled by money flowing from the United States.
