New Penalties for Foreign Money in US Political Campaigns.

This law imposes severe financial penalties and threatens the tax-exempt status of large non-profit organizations that accept funds from foreign nationals and subsequently donate them to political committees. The goal is to block foreign influence in US elections, enhancing the security and transparency of the democratic process. These changes affect organizations with significant revenue or assets and take effect on January 1, 2025.
Key points
Non-profit organizations that donate to political campaigns after receiving foreign contributions will face a penalty equal to double the donation amount.
If an organization commits this violation a third time, it will immediately lose its tax-exempt status, representing a major financial consequence.
The new rules aim to protect elections from foreign interference, strengthening the integrity of the electoral process.
