The leftist who helped organize the storming of a Minnesota church has made a shocking amount of money from anti-poverty efforts.
A new Fox News report is revealing how Nekima Levy Armstrong “raked in over $1 million during six years leading a Minneapolis civil rights nonprofit that addresses anti-poverty issues.” Armstrong is one of the agitators who organized the anti-ICE march on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.
“In a Facebook post, she claimed that one of the church’s pastors is a leader at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The demonstration is one of many throughout the Twin Cities in protest of the federal government’s surge of immigration enforcement officials to crack down on widespread fraud taking place in the state,” the outlet wrote. “Armstrong, who is currently the founder and CEO of a cannabis company called Dope Roots, led the nonprofit as executive director for at least six years, from 2019 through 2024, according to tax filings by the Wayfinder Foundation.”
Tax filings from 2024 reveal that the organization only awarded $158,811 for anti-poverty initiatives that year, with Armstrong pulling in a $215,726 salary and “$40,548 in health benefits, benefit plan contributions and deferred compensation.” The previous year, the nonprofit only awarded $133,698 in grants. Again, Armstrong pulled in a six-figure salary of $170,726, with another $44,300 in other “compensation from the organization and related organizations,” Fox noted.
A filing from 2022 shows the pattern repeat itself, ” with Armstrong bringing in $175,000 in compensation, plus an estimated $33,126 in other compensation, while the organization gave just $161,325 in grants.”
According to six years of filings, from 2019 to 2024, the far-left agitator has pulled in “$936,395 as executive director of the Wayfinder Foundation, plus an additional $201,313 in health benefits and other compensation.” Under her leadership, the organization disbursed $700,052 in grants while reporting $5,246,387 in revenue.
“The group has counted Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation as a donor. According to a 2023 Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation tax filing, the group donated $20,000 to Wayfinder ‘to conduct activities to educate and support Black communities,'” the Fox report noted.
Also described as a “major donor” is the Walton Family Foundation, the organization that makes charitable donations on behalf of the family that owns Walmart. “According to 2018-2024 tax filings by the Walton Family Foundation, it donated $2,340,000 to the Wayfinder Foundation during that time period.”
A Fox News Digital search of the foundation’s archived webpages uncovered that in its “signature Community Activist Fellowship (CAF) program, we intentionally invest in Black women and Latina activists, organizers, and change agents who are using their social, political, and financial capital to challenge the status quo and to disrupt business-as-usual within systems that perpetuate oppression.”
“Where others see deficiencies, lack, and want, Wayfinder sees opportunity for little revolutions that place demands on power and change systems for the better,” reads a message from Armstrong to prospective donors. “We get there by investing directly in the most basic unit of change in a child’s life, their mother.”
