According to ''[[The New York Times]]'', the importance of bail funds became clear to [[Black Lives Matter]] activists reaching back to the [[Ferguson riots]]. During the [[George Floyd riots]] more than 360 people were arrested. The group raised $20 million in the first four days,<ref>https://archive.is/gM4JD#selection-805.18-807.20</ref> and $30 million over all. MFF spent only $200,00 to bail out rioters. Donors began asking or their money back. It is illegal for a non-profit to raise to solicit funds for one purpose and divert the money into other projects, which the MFF publicly stated it intended to do.

The MFF used the funds raised to bail out a man accused of sexually penetrating a child and bail out six men accused of [[domestic violence]]. Two of the men allegedly strangled women in their own homes, and all but one had been previously convicted of domestic violence.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/22/minnesota-freedom-fund-bail-charity-kamala-harris-domestic-abusers/</ref>
