DoorDash’s employees use an app called Deed to facilitate charitable giving and volunteer work. DoorDash has just informed Deed it needs to disregard the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” and allow its employees to choose causes regardless of SPLC’s opinion of them. The move was triggered by the Alliance Defending Freedom, who urged DoorDash to drop the SPLC’s guidance.

EXCERPT:
The delivery marketplace company DoorDash has begun the process of allowing employees to donate to conservative nonprofits, even if they appear on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map.”
The conservative Christian law firm Alliance Defending Freedom, working with the Catholic financial advisory firm IWP Capital, urged DoorDash to reconsider its reliance on the SPLC, which critics accuse of putting mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits on a “hate map” with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan.
DoorDash uses the impact platform Deed to facilitate employees’ charitable giving and volunteering. DoorDash has formally requested that Deed allow DoorDash employees to connect with nonprofits, even if they appear on the SPLC’s map.
“ADF, IWP Capital, we believe this is a great win for shareholders and employees, and we’re very happy with the result,” Noah Nash, legal counsel for ADF’s Corporate Engagement Team, told the Daily Signal in an interview Thursday. “It sets an excellent example for other companies to follow.”
