The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGN or BLMGNF)[a] is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit civil rights organization dedicated to promoting the Black Lives Matter movement.[7] The organization is often mistaken for other organizations within the Black Lives Matter movement because it often solely employs the phrase "Black Lives Matter" as its name and it also owns the domain name "blacklivesmatter.com" as its official website.[8] While BLMGN often simply calls itself "Black Lives Matter," it is not the sole organization within the broader Black Lives Matter social movement.[9] It is, however, the largest and most well-funded, and it also claims to speak on behalf of the movement.[10] Efforts which were started in late 2020 by its then Executive Director Patrisse Cullors began to centralize its operations.[6][10]

The organization was founded in 2013 by three female activists.[11] International but largely based in the United States, the organization advocates for the eradication of systematic racism and the prevention of police violence.[12] Among its core beliefs is that the entire US legal system, mainstream media, and society is inherently white supremacist;[13] and that "policing at-large is an irredeemable institution" and should be defunded.[14][15]

The organization has been criticized for its statements in support of Marxism, its handling of its finances, and for using its influence with media platforms to suppress negative stories about itself and investigating journalists who publish such stories.[16] The BLMGNF has also been accused of long-term financial mismanagement such as the purchase of mansions, providing lucrative contracts to companies owned by relatives of its founders and a lack of transparency in their fundraisers.[17][18]
