The former headquarters of the Canadian communist party was named the<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/01\/29\/black-lives-matter-sent-millions-to-canada-charity-m4bj-for-mansion\/\"> Wildseed Centre for Art and Activism <\/a>by Canadian BLM members who said it was purchased using cash from BLMGNF.<\/p>\n<p>The purchase of the Toronto home was part of an $8 million \u201cout of country grant\u201d in North America, to conduct \u201cactivities to educate and support black communities, and to purchase and renovate property for charitable use,\u201d according to BLMGNF\u2019s latest federal tax filing for fiscal year 2020. The group said it planned to use the space as its main office in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear where the remaining $1.7 million \u201cout of country grant\u201d went. In 2021, sources told The Post that BLMGNF had purchased<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/04\/10\/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge\/\"> a luxury condo in the Bahamas<\/a> in the same beach-front resort where Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake have homes. Cullors vigorously denied that the group had purchased property on the islands.<\/p>\n<p>The IRS filing also lists the group\u2019s Los Angeles compound as an asset. In October 2020, BLMGNF secretly bought a sprawling mansion in Los Angeles, spending nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/04\/12\/blm-defends-purchase-of-6m-california-home-with-donations\/\">$6 million on the purchase of the Studio City compound<\/a>, which includes a soundstage, six bedrooms and a swimming pool.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/blm-real-estate-023.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22305025\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/blm-real-estate-023.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"According to tax documents, Black Lives Matter has spent millions of dollars on luxury real estate \u2014 including a mansion in Studio City, California.\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption>According to tax documents, Black Lives Matter has spent millions of dollars on luxury real estate \u2014 including a mansion in Studio City, California.<\/figcaption><figcaption>Ringo Chiu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/blm-real-estate-022.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22305047\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/blm-real-estate-022.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"BLM paid $6 million for the southern California compound.\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption>BLM paid $6 million for the southern California compound.<\/figcaption><figcaption>Ringo Chiu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/blm-real-estate-024.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22305075\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/blm-real-estate-024.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Toronto mansion was purchased by non-profit M4BJ with funds that came from BLMGNF grant.\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Toronto mansion was purchased by non-profit M4BJ with funds that came from BLMGNF grant.<\/figcaption><figcaption>Cushman &amp; Wakefield<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cullors <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/09\/blms-patrisse-cullors-admits-using-6m-mansion-for-parties\/\">recently admitted<\/a> that she threw two parties at the swanky compound \u2014 a birthday bash for her son and a soiree to celebrate President Joe Biden\u2019s presidential win in 2020.
