(JNS) Charities affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are among the top donors to a dozen charities aligned with foreign Islamist movements, according to a study released last month.

A major Salt Lake City-based Mormon charity, Globus Relief, gave a total of at least $119 million to 10 radical Islamist charities tied to the U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hamas, the investigative report by the Philadelphia-based Middle East Forum think tank found.

The Mormon charity’s top grantee, Islamic Relief, is a leading Islamist charitable institution whose branches have been described by the Dutch and German governments as components of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, the study states.

The investigation notes that Islamic Relief branches have repeatedly partnered with senior Hamas officials in Gaza.

Another Mormon-run charity, Lifting Hands International, has provided nearly $20 million to Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD), the chief U.S. charitable arm of the violent South Asian Islamist movement Jamaat-e-Islami, the study found.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also finances Islamist groups through its official international humanitarian arm, LDS Charities, the study found. It operates under the church’s 501(c) status, and is exempt from filing a nonprofit public tax return. making its actual donations uncertain.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is among the world’s wealthiest religious institutions with a total net worth estimated at $293 billion as of 2024.
