Match Group ⁠— the $20B company behind dating apps
Match, Tinder, and OKCupid — quietly used customer revenue to fund a political group devoted to eliminating abortion rights in the U.S.

Match now refuses to comment or say whether it'll seek a refund. Judd Legum explains.

In 2021, Match donated $137,000 from its corporate treasury to the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA). RAGA played a central role in the case that overturned Roe v. Wade and now says it's focused on ending abortion rights at the state level.

Match's support for RAGA might come as a surprise to its users. In public, the company announced a fund in 2021 to cover travel costs for employees to obtain out-of-state abortion care. Meanwhile, Match was discreetly funneling money to RAGA.
