Corporate philanthropy is a powerful force in American communities, with U.S. corporations contributing nearly $37 billion to charitable causes in 2023.

In our politically polarized society, policy advocacy is all too often conflated with political activity. Recently, Republican members of the House Ways and Means Committee asked the nonprofit community for feedback on whether nonprofits are being misused by foreign nationals and others to meddle in U.S. politics.
In response to headlines about foreign actors interfering in U.S. elections, the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means last month issued a Request for Information (RFI) inquiring about how foreign nationals might be using nonprofits to skirt election disclosure laws and about the IRS’s oversight role.
