New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman has issued proposed regulations that would require many nonprofit organizations to annually disclose certain information about their political spending and their donors’ identities. According to the Attorney General, the proposed regulations are in response to nonprofit organizations, in particular Section 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, that have engaged in political campaign activity and do not disclose their sources of funding. While Section 527 organizations are required to publicly disclose certain information relating to their political expenditures and their donors’ identities, other nonprofit organizations are generally exempt from such reporting requirements.
