Dallas-based Match Group, which operates dating apps like Tinder and Hinge, recently told employees that it would suspend donations to the Republican Attorneys General Association, which supported the overturn of the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision.
The announcement comes after Match unveiled a fund in October for Texas employees who need safe access to abortion care through a partnership with Planned Parenthood in Los Angeles. The company is evaluating ways to expand the policy to all of its U.S. employees, including remote employees in trigger law states. Match’s health care plans cover travel and lodging costs for any employee who needs to travel out of state to receive care.
The company will also end its support of the Democratic Attorneys General Association, according to the New York Times . Match Group donated more than $100,000 to the Republican Attorneys General Association last year, along with more than $100,000 to the Democratic Attorneys General Association, the New York Times reported. It’s common for large corporations to give to groups affiliated with both political parties.
