Your Hobby Lobby dollars fund the campaign to end marriage equality. Snopes fact-checked the money trail in May 2026 and confirmed it.

Here is how it works. Hobby Lobby's founders — the Green family — run a personal charitable foundation called the Servant Foundation. The Servant Foundation gave 18M (2022) and 16M (2023) according to ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer. ADF is the legal organization currently pushing courts to apply the 19th-century Comstock Act to restrict mifepristone, the medication used in most U.S. abortions. (Ms. Magazine, May 2026).

The Green family's 2024 tax filings, published on ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer, show the Servant Foundation also gave $300,000 to Them Before Us — a group running a national legal campaign to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that established marriage equality.

This is not a Hobby Lobby corporate PAC. It is the Green family's personal fortune — built in part on everyday craft-supply sales — flowing through a private foundation into these campaigns. That is the pillar: the consumer dollar at checkout. Not a government contract. Not a media deal. The wreath you bought at Thanksgiving and the ribbon you picked up last Christmas.

Here is where your money goes. And here is how to move it.

For general craft supplies, Michaels carries comparable inventory at similar prices. For handmade and artisan goods, Etsy keeps money with independent makers directly. For basics — foam board, seasonal décor, floral wire — Target and Dollar Tree carry the same items. None of these alternatives require a special trip or a premium. Join shoppers who have already made the switch through Buckoff's boycott-hobby-lobby campaign.

Economic pressure has a documented track record. The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted 381 days without a single piece of legislation. Organized people chose a different bus, consistently, until the financial pressure became undeniable. When enough people move their craft dollars, the Servant Foundation's giving capacity moves too.

Target

Hobby Lobby

The money trail is complex. The Hobby Lobby owners give money to their foundation, The Servant Foundation. The Servant Foundation gave 18M (2022) and 16M (2023) according to ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer to the Alliance Defending Freedom. ADF is the legal organization currently pushing courts to apply the 19th-century Comstock Act to restrict mifepristone, the medication used in most U.S. abortions. (Ms. Magazine, May 2026) The Green family's 2024 tax filings, published on ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer, show the Servant Foundation also gave $300,000 to Them Before Us — a group running a national legal campaign to overturn *Obergefell v. Hodges*, the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that established marriage equality. Hobby Lobby's customer base is also disproportionately women, who make up the majority of craft and home décor shoppers — the same demographic most directly harmed by the company's restrictive employee health coverage policies. Because Hobby Lobby is a consumer-facing retail brand dependent on foot traffic and brand goodwill, sustained public pressure and purchasing boycotts can materially affect revenue and brand reputation. The company's high-profile Supreme Court victory has made it a recognized symbol in debates over employer-controlled reproductive health access, giving a campaign clear public resonance. Consumers can redirect spending to competitors such as Michaels, Jo-Ann Stores (or its successor operations), or Amazon for similar products, creating direct financial leverage.

Better alternatives

Michaels (large craft chain with employee health benefit expansions; widely accessible) AC Moore (regional craft chain; no documented anti-reproductive-rights positions) Etsy (B Corp certified; vocal support for LGBTQ+ and women's rights; marketplace for independent makers) Blick Art Materials (employee-owned roots; art-focused; no documented reproductive-rights opposition) Local independent craft and fabric stores (keep dollars in community; no corporate political spending) Local quilt guilds and fabric co-ops (community-owned, values-driven, often women-led) Online indie fabric shops (e.g., Spoonflower — prints on demand, artist-owned designs, no documented anti-reproductive-rights history)

I pledge to leave a one-star review of my local hobby lobby on google maps

Public reviews influence foot traffic and brand perception. A surge of critical reviews signals consumer dissatisfaction to both the company and prospective shoppers.

I will invite my friends along ! "I’ve been using Michaels, or local shops and Etsy, and they’ve been great” gives people something to do and makes it feel less like a lecture."

I pledge to buy my craft and hobby supplies from a competing retailer instead of hobby lobby

Redirecting spending to competitors like JOANN, Michaels, or local craft stores directly reduces Hobby Lobby's retail revenue and market share.

I pledge to permanently stop shopping at hobby lobby for all craft, home decor, and seasonal purchases

Hobby Lobby's revenue is almost entirely driven by in-store retail sales of craft supplies, seasonal decor, and framing services. A committed, permanent boycott across all categories is the highest-impact individual action available.
