What does this do?
The bill would add a reporting rule to the annual tax return that many tax-exempt organizations already file with the IRS. Groups would report the total money received from foreign nationals and list totals separately for each "foreign country of concern," a term defined in an existing federal law on research and competition. A donor's country is based on citizenship for a person, or on where the donor was created or organized for a company or other group.
Who does it affect?
The rule would apply to tax-exempt organizations with at least $200,000 in gross receipts or at least $500,000 in assets in the prior year. It would mainly affect the staff and boards of mid-size and large nonprofits, who would track donor nationality and add it to their filings.
Why does it matter?
The bill would not ban any foreign donations or cap how much an organization can accept; it only requires reporting of totals. Because these returns are generally open to public inspection, the totals would likely become visible to the public, though individual donors would not be named.
