Here's a start, though I don't think it mentions the dollar amount: https://www.fordfoundation.org/ideas...-philanthropy/

"By partnering with Borealis Philanthropy, Movement Strategy Center, and Benedict Consulting to found the Black-Led Movement Fund, Ford has made six-year investments in the organizations and networks that compose the Movement for Black Lives."

Here are a couple of links that might help ...

Here is their official website ... http://www.fordfoundation.org/

I know, I know, it's wikipedia ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Foundation

Here's another one ...

Ford Foundation Funds BLM-Endorsed Group

The Ford Foundation has created a fund in partnership with another organization that is dedicated to funding a group affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement, according to recent reports.

The Ford Foundation, which is not affiliated to the Ford Motor Company, is investing in the Black-Led Movement Fund, reports Fortune. The Black-Led Movement Fund was created by the Ford Foundation in partnership with the Borealis Philanthropy, Movement Strategy Center, and Benedict Consulting.

According to its website, the Black-Led Movement Fund seeks to “support philanthropic and field-building activities that strengthen the next generation of social justice leaders.”

The Black Led-Movement Foundation provides money and other resources to organizations that are focused on “black, queer, feminists and immigrant leaders who are shaping and leading a national conversation about criminalization, policing and race in America.”

http://dailycaller.com/2016/08/10/fo...ndorsed-group/
... and as far as the 100 million, there is no reference in the MSM, (go figure ), so it's having to find a "credible" link to expose the story.

This one is probably the closest ...

Two Large Foundations Pledge $100 Million For BLM

he Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy are teaming up and have pledged to raise $100 million dollars for Black Lives Matter under the title of Black-Led Movement Fund [BLMF]. The money will be raised and distributed over the next six years. That should buy a lot of lighter fluid and matches. Perhaps a few skids of half bricks from Lowes. It could be a big boon for Faberge. With that kind of money, they could throw a better class of bottles. That’s just a drop in the bucket when you consider all the other money they receive.

George Soros funneled money through his Open Society Foundation that financed the Ferguson riots to the tune of $33 million. He provided another $650,000 for the riots in Baltimore. We don’t know how much he gave the rioters in Milwaukee. Maybe nothing. If he had paid them, they would have rioted longer. Late last year, the shady and secretive Democratic Alliance were urged to contribute to BLM and we don’t have a clue how much.

http://dailyheadlines.net/2016/08/tw...llion-for-blm/
Hope these help ...

The Ford Foudation was created by Edsel Ford and Henry Ford in 1936.

Last week, the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) published a detailed and ambitious policy agenda, with a long list of “demands” that are attempts to match systemic problems with transparent solutions. One subsection of the agenda, “End the War on Black People,” takes on the criminal justice system. Another, “Reparations,” asks for specific remedies from corporate, government, and educational systems for harms related to slavery, and more recently, redlining in housing, education policy, mass incarceration and food insecurity.
Quote:
The BLMF’s strategy is supported by two other components: the first is the Blackprint Strategy, a collaborative process underway to identify movement needs and resource priorities to bring $100 million in new resources to the Movement for Black Lives. The Movement Strategy Center’s Blueprint Philanthropies Project is facilitating this effort. The second component is the BLMF Organizational Development Initiative supported by Benedict Consulting and focused on supporting the organizational capacity building needs of a rapidly growing movement.

The current president of the Ford Foundation is an interesting character.

There are some interesting articles on Breitbart that I believe you might consider related to what is going on...

Quote:
Kurtz cites a piece by New America fellow Michael Lind, who wrote at Politico Magazine in May that the 2016 election has seen the near completion of “the reassembling of new Democratic and Republican coalitions.” Lind went on to describe his view of the future of the Democrat Party:

The Democrats of the next generation will be even more of an alliance of upscale, progressive whites with blacks and Latinos, based in large and diverse cities. They will think of the U.S. as a version of their multicultural coalition of distinct racial and ethnic identity groups writ large. Many younger progressives will take it for granted that moral people are citizens of the world, equating nationalism and patriotism with racism and fascism.

A lot like the many shell companies there, under the guise of 503c........just like the Clinton Foundation.

Actions speak louder than words. This mayor of a military town has said, not in this community.

Let's see if starts a movement...
There was a reason I lived in DuPont while at Lewis.
