Foreign Funding Transparency and Stronger Privacy for Non-Profit Donors.
This law requires large non-profit organizations to publicly disclose the total amount of money they receive from foreign sources, broken down by country. Simultaneously, it significantly strengthens privacy protections for American donors by prohibiting most federal agencies from collecting or releasing their identifying information. Citizens gain transparency regarding foreign influence on major non-profits while their personal donor data is better secured.
Key points
Large non-profits (meeting specific financial thresholds) must publicly report the aggregate amount of contributions received from foreign nationals, categorized by country of origin.
Federal agencies are generally prohibited from collecting or publicly disclosing the identifying information of donors to tax-exempt organizations.
Unauthorized, willful disclosure of donor identification by federal employees is classified as a felony, punishable by heavy fines and imprisonment.
