Citizens can track the spending of Rockbridge's 501(c)(4) affiliates like Better Tomorrow and Faithful in Action by searching their IRS Form 990 filings on ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer, even though these forms do not reveal individual donor names.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. While 501(c)(4) organizations do not have to publicly disclose their individual donors, they must file IRS Form 990 annually. These filings -- searchable on ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer (projects.propublica.org/nonprofits) -- reveal total revenue, total spending, officer compensation, and how the organization spent its money. Citizens can track how much Rockbridge affiliates like Better Tomorrow, Over the Horizon, Faithful in Action, and Firebrand Action spend on political activities, salaries, and operations. Combined with FEC filings for the Turnout for America super PAC (which does show donors), this gives a partial but useful picture of the network's financial footprint.
