American Donor Privacy and Foreign Funding Transparency Act
This bill requires tax-exempt nonprofits (like charities and advocacy groups) to report foreign contributions in their annual IRS filings, including whether they received funds from foreign sources, the total amount, and the country of origin. It mandates that the IRS make this data publicly searchable in a new database, increasing transparency about foreign funding. Simultaneously, it prohibits federal agencies from collecting or disclosing donor identities, with criminal penalties for unauthorized leaks. The law applies to all 501(c) organizations and balances foreign funding transparency with strong donor privacy protections.
