Morgan Wallen Did Indeed Donate $500,000 to Black Organizations

“Rolling Stone” got everyone’s attention when they questioned whether or not MORGAN WALLEN kept his promise to donate $500,000 to black organizations.  This was, of course, in response to his racial slur incident.

Well, USA Today looked at written records and talked to Morgan’s manager, and they confirmed that $500,000 is indeed getting distributed.  Some of it by Morgan, and some by his team.

Here’s the money trail:  He donated $300,000 to the Black Music Action Coalition [BMAC] in the names of 20 people who had counseled him after the incident.  Each had the option of giving it to BMAC or to a charity of their choice.

$165,000 stayed with BMAC, and $135,000 went to smaller charities, including Young People’s Chorus of New York City, Teen Dream Center, Beatrice W. Welters Breast Health Outreach & Navigation Program, and the Right Hand Foundation.

Morgan’s record label donated $100,000 to Rock Against Racism on his behalf . . . and the remaining $100,000 has been earmarked to be dispersed to Black-led organizations in Tennessee by the end of the year.
