Chick-Fil-A has given over a million dollars to groups that sponsor homophobic activities and publicize lies and distortions about LGBT groups and gay marriage. These groups include Focus on the Family (with which Chik-Fil-A has a partnership), and the following groups:

- Campus Crusade for Christ: $2,850
