No Foreign Election Interference Act

Penalties on foreign-funded nonprofit political giving

This bill would fine certain 501(c) nonprofits that take foreign money and then give to political committees. It would cover groups with at least $200,000 in yearly receipts or $500,000 in assets. If the group received any gift from a foreign national in the 8 years before its political gift, that gift would be disqualified. The penalty would be twice the contribution amount. For example, a $10,000 gift would trigger a $20,000 penalty. If a group makes more than two disqualified gifts, it would lose tax‑exempt status for any tax year ending on or after the date of the third gift. For the first three violations, the group would still be treated as tax‑exempt when applying these penalties. The 8‑year lookback would not count time before the bill is enacted. These rules would apply to contributions made on or after January 1, 2026.
