Money | Chick-fil-A Chick-Fil-A No Longer Funds Most Controversial Groups And company continues to grow despite backlash By Evann Gastaldo Posted Jan 29, 2013 12:58 PM CST Copied In this Aug. 3, 2012 file photo, Mia Finterman and Gwendolyn Griffin kiss at a Chick-fil-A in Birmingham, Ala., for a national same-sex kiss day to protest Chick-fil-A executive Dan Cathy.

Rather, the company "focuses on youth, education, marriage enrichment, and local communities," says Campus Pride. The national LGBT campus organization looked at tax documents for Chick-Fil-A's philanthropic WinShape Foundation to make the determination, CNN reports. However, Chick-Fil-A does still donate to some groups that are against gay marriage—just not the most divisive ones. Despite all the uproar that ensued after company president Dan Cathy said last year that he supported traditional marriage, Chick-Fil-A continues to grow: Sales were up 14% in 2012 over a year prior, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, and the chain opened 96 new stores.
