What Is Dark Money?
Dark money refers to political spending by nonprofit organizations that are not required to disclose their donors. These 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, 501(c)(6) trade associations, and similar tax-exempt groups can pour unlimited funds into elections without revealing who bankrolls them.
Under current law, these organizations must report their spending to the FEC but not their donors. This creates a legal channel for anonymous political influence at massive scale. Some organizations exist solely to funnel money into elections while shielding donor identities.
Our database tracks the revenue, political expenditures, and lobbying expenditures of these organizations as reported in their IRS filings, giving you a window into the shadow infrastructure of American politics.
