The SPLC used $4.1 million in donor to fund the KKK and other extremist groups. This is how they used the money: -Attend and host extremist group rallies across the country. -Grow existing chapters of extremist groups. -Create new chapters of extremist groups; Recruit new individuals into extremist groups. -Make donations to extremist group leaders. -Purchase materials for cross burnings. -Purchase materials to make Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods. -Create racist paraphernalia that extremist groups sold at rallies. -Publish extremist literature used in the recruiting of more members. -Pay everyday living expenses, which allowed the Fs to focus on their extremist groups rather than seeking other employment. They funded the groups they told the public they were fighting.
